5.4.4.2 Adoption Overrides

Profile Overrides
Use the Adoption screen to define the configuration of a preferred Virtual Controller resource used for access point adoption.
A Virtual Controller can adopt up to 24 access points of the same model. The Virtual Controller must also share its VLAN to
peer access points wishing to adopt to it. The Virtual Controllers IP address (or hostname), pool and routing level must also be
defined and made available to connecting peers.
Adoption is the process an access point uses to discover Virtual Controllers available in the network, pick the most desirable
Virtual Controller, establish an association, obtain its configuration and consider itself provisioned.
At adoption, an access point solicits and receives adoption responses from Virtual Controllers available on the network.
