Use this procedure to create, modify, or delete a Roaming Assist policy.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Action |
Specify the action to be invoked on the client once it reaches the specified threshold value. The threshold values are configured based on the client load. Options are:
Note: In all three cases an event is generated. However, the
message generated differs and is based on the action
specified.
|
Aggresiveness |
Set a roaming aggressiveness value for wireless clients. Options are:
|
Detection Threshold |
Assign a detection threshold RSSI value determining when a client is monitored. Clients with poor RSSI values are monitored more frequently. Set an RSSI value in the range –100 dBm to –40 dBm. The default is –75 dBm. |
Disassociation Time | Specify the interval after which a disassociation message is to be sent. Set a value in the range 1–10 seconds. The default value is 5 seconds. |
Handoff Count | Specify the number of times a client can exceed the configured Handoff Threshold value before an action is invoked. Enter a value in the range 1–10. The default value is 3. |
Handoff Threshold | Assign a threshold RSSI value determining when client
handoff action is to be taken. When a client's detected RSSI
exceeds the value set here and meets the value set in
Handoff Count, an action is
invoked. Set an RSSI value in the range –100 dBm to –40 dBm.
The default value is -80 dBm. Note: If the client‘s RSSI
increases beyond the set handoff-threshold, it is
removed from the queue for monitoring and action
invocation.
|
Monitoring Interval | Specify the interval (duration) during which clients are monitored to determine whether their RSSI is below the specified Handoff Threshold. Set the interval in the range 1–60 seconds. The default value is 5 seconds. |
Sampling Interval | Specify the interval between two successive client
samplings to determine their RSSI value. Set a sampling
interval in the range 5–60 seconds. The default value is 15
seconds. Note: Higher RSSI values, indicate stronger
signals.

Note
You cannot restore default settings after applying or saving changes.Note
This does not permanently save the settings you configured. If you perform a Reload (warm reboot), applied settings will be lost.Note
If you do not select Apply or Save, the settings that you configured are not saved when you move away from the configuration window.
