4. Set an Adoption Preference ID
To define a radio as preferred, the access port preference ID should be same as the adoption preference
ID. The adoption preference ID is used for AP load-balancing. A switch will preferentially adopt access
ports having the same adoption-preference-id as the switch itself.
The Adoption Preference ID defines the switch preference ID. The value can be between 1 and 65535. To
define radios as preferred, the access port preference ID should be same as the adoption preference ID.
If the value is set to 0, the switch automatically changes the value to 1.
The adoption preference ID is used for AP load-balancing. A switch preferentially adopts APs which have
the same adoption-preference-id as the switch itself.
In a layer 3 environment, the access port adoption process is somewhat unique, for more information, see
