Neighbor Recovery Settings for Smart RF

Neighbor recovery involves automatic recovery for failed or faulty access points or faulty antennas by instructing neighboring APs to increase their transmit power to compensate for the coverage loss. The default Smart RF policy enables Neighbor Recovery for AP4xx and AP5xx. It requires a minimum of four APs to function.

Note

Before you can edit these parameters, select Custom Sensitivity from the Basic Smart RF configuration tab.

Select Recovery > Neighbor Recovery and configure the following parameters.

Table 1. Neighbor Recovery Settings
Field	Description
Power Hold Time (seconds)	The number of seconds Smart RF waits before changing radio channels in response to channel noise. This hold timer definition avoids channel flapping. Range is 0 to 3600 seconds.
Neighbor Recovery
2.4 GHz Neighbor Power Threshold (dBm)	Defines the maximum power the 2.4 GHz radio will emit to compensate for a failed neighbor radio. Valid values are -85 to -55 dBm. Default value is -65 dBm.
5 GHz Neighbor Power Threshold (dBm)	Defines the maximum power the 5GHz radio will emit to compensate for a failed neighbor radio. Valid values are -85 to -55 dBm. Default value is -65 dBm.
6 GHz Neighbor Power Threshold (dBm)	Defines the maximum power the 6 GHz radio will emit to compensate for a failed neighbor radio. Valid values are -85 to -55 dBm. Default value is -65 dBm.
Dynamic Sample Recovery
Dynamic Sample Enabled	Enables an administrator to define how Smart RF adjustments are triggered by locking retry and threshold values.
Dynamic Sample Retries (1-10)	Define the number of Dynamic Sample Retries.
Dynamic Sample Threshold (1-30)	Define the Dynamic Sample Threshold.
