client-load-balancing

Enforces client load balancing on a WLAN‘s access point radios. When enforced, probe and association requests are not responded to, forcing a client to associate with another access point radio. This feature is disabled by default.

Supported on the following devices:

Access Points: AP3000/X, AP5010, AP310i/e, AP410i/e, AP505i, AP510i, AP510e, AP560i, AP7602, AP7612, AP7622, AP7632, AP7662, AP8163, AP8533.
Service Platforms: NX5500, NX7500, NX9500, NX9600
Virtual Platforms: CX9000, VX9000

Syntax

client-load-balancing {allow-single-band-clients|band-discovery-intvl| capability-ageout-time|max-probe-req|probe-req-invl}

client-load-balancing {allow-single-band-clients [2.4ghz|5ghz]| band-discovery-intvl <0-10000>|capability-ageout-time <0-10000>}

client-load-balancing {max-probe-req|probe-req-intvl} [2.4ghz|5ghz] <0-10000>

Parameters

client-load-balancing {allow-single-band-clients [2.4ghz|5ghz]| band-discovery-intvl <0-10000>|capability-ageout-time <0-10000>}


client-load-balancing	Configures client load balancing on a WLAN
allow-single-band-clients [2.4GHz\|5GHz]	Optional. Allows single band clients to associate even during load balancing 2.4GHz – Enables load balancing across 2.4 GHz channels 5GHz – Enables load balancing across 5.0 GHz channels This option is enabled by default for 2.4 and 5.0 GHz bands.
band-discovery-intvl <0-10000>	Optional. Configures time interval to discover a client's band capability before connection <0-10000> – Specify a value from 0 - 10000 seconds. The default is 10 seconds.
capability-ageout-time <0-10000>	Optional. Configures a client's capability ageout interval. This is the time for which a client‘s capabilities are retained in the device‘s internal table. Once this time is exceeded the client‘s capabilities are aged out. <0-10000> – Specify a value from 0 - 10000 seconds. The default is 3600 seconds.

client-load-balancing {max-probe-req|probe-req-intvl} [2.4Ghz|5Ghz] <0-10000>


client-load-balancing	Configures WLAN client load balancing
max-probe-req [2.4GHz\|5GHz] <0-10000>	Optional. Configures the maximum client probe requests allowed for 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz bands 2.4GHz – Configures maximum client probe requests on 2.4 GHz radios 5GHz – Configures maximum client probe requests on 5.0 GHz radios <0-10000> – Specify a client probe request threshold from 0 - 10000. The default for both 2.4 and 5.0 GHz radios is 60.
probe-req-intvl 2.4GHz\|5GHz] <0-10000>	Optional. Configures client probe request interval limits for device association 2.4GHz – Configures the client probe request interval on 2.4 GHz radios 5GHz – Configures the client probe request interval on 5.0 GHz radios <0-10000> – Specify a value from 0 - 10000. The default for both 2.4 and 5.0 GHz radios is 10 seconds.
