Use the probe-suppression command to enable or disable probe suppression on an AP radio. You can also optionally set the RSS threshold and enable or disable force disassociate. The probe-suppression command is accessible from all radio contexts of the CLI.
| disable | enable | Enables or disables probe suppression for this radio context. |
Probe-suppression is useful in dense deployments (such as stadiums) where a large number of APs may be operating in close proximity. It permits the administrator to configure smaller cells. Thus clients only attempt to associate with the AP that is closest and has the strongest signal. This removes much of the overhead, permitting better performance of the network.
The following example enables probe suppression on radio 1 of AP 1111111111113705:
