Wireless Controller, Service Platform and Access Point CLI Reference Guide

Enables recovery from errors due to faulty neighboring radios. Enabling neighbor recovery ensures automatic recovery from failed radios within the radio coverage area. Smart RF instructs neighboring access points to increase their transmit power to compensate for the failed radio. Neighbor recovery is enabled by default when the sensitivity setting is medium.

Note

The neighbor-recovery parameters can be modified only if the sensitivity level is set to ‘custom‘. For more information, see sensitivity.

Supported in the following platforms:

Access Points — AP310i/e, AP410i/e, AP460i/e, AP560i/h, AP510i/e, AP505i, AP7522, AP7532, AP7562, AP7612, AP7632, AP7662, AP8432, AP8533
Service Platforms — NX5500, NX7500, NX9500, NX9600, VX9000

Syntax

neighbor-recovery {dynamic-sampling|power-hold-time|power-threshold}

neighbor-recovery {dynamic-sampling} {retries <1-10>|threshold <1-30>}

neighbor-recovery {power-hold-time <0-3600>}

neighbor-recovery {power-threshold [2.4Ghz|5Ghz] <-85--55>}

Parameters

neighbor-recovery {dynamic-sampling} {retries <1-10>|threshold <1-30>}


dynamic-sampling	Optional. Enables dynamic sampling on this Smart RF policy. Dynamic sampling allows you to define how Smart RF adjustments are triggered by locking the ‘retry‘ and ‘threshold‘ values. Dynamic sampling is disabled by default.
retries <1-10>	Optional. Specifies the number of retries before allowing a power level adjustments to compensate for a potential coverage hole. <1-10> – Sets the number of retries from 1 - 10. The default is 3.
threshold <1-30>	Optional. Specifies the minimum number of sample reports before which a power change requires dynamic sampling <1-30> – Sets the minimum number of reports from 1 - 30. The default is 5.

neighbor-recovery {power-hold-time <0-3600>}


power-hold-time	Optional. Specifies the minimum time, in seconds, between two power changes on a radio during neighbor-recovery
<0-3600>	Sets the time from 0 - 3600 sec. The default is 0 seconds.

neighbor-recovery {power-threshold [2.4Ghz|5Ghz] <-85--55>}


power-threshold	Optional. Specifies the power threshold based on which recovery is performed The 2.4 GHz/5.0 GHz radio uses the value specified here as the maximum power increase threshold if the radio is required to increase its output power to compensate for a failed radio within its coverage area.
[2.4GHz\|5GHz]	Selects the band 2.4GHz – Selects the 2.4 GHz band 5GHz – Selects the 5.0 GHz band
<-85--55>	Specify the threshold value <-85--55> – Sets the power threshold from -85 dBm - -55 dBm. The default is -70 dBm for both the 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz bands.
