Use the rss-threshold command to set the RSS threshold on an AP radio. The rss-threshold command is accessible from all radio contexts of the CLI when probe-suppression is enabled.
| dBm | Specifies the RSS-threshold in dBm.Defaults to -90 if probe suppression is enabled. Supported values are -50 to -100 dBm. |
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.
Configuring rss-threshold allows the administrator to control the size of the cells. A higher rss-threshold equates to a smaller cell size. A lower rss-threshold equates to a larger cell size.
The following example sets the RSS threshold on radio 1 of AP 1111111111113705 to -80 dBm:
