In an SVF system, ASs and APs share the CAPWAP link specifications. That is, the maximum number of ASs and APs cannot exceed the maximum number of CAPWAP links. For example, when an S12710 functions as the parent in an SVF system and 256 ASs have connected to the SVF system, a maximum of 5888 (6144-256) APs can connect to the SVF system.
