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 in the following platforms:
- Access Points — AP410i/e, AP460i/e, AP505i, AP510i/e, AP560i/h, AP7522, AP7532, AP7562,
AP7612, AP7632, AP7662, AP8432, AP8533
- Service Platforms
— NX5500, NX7500, NX9500, NX9600, VX9000

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.
