In a client balancing/load control statistics report, the statistics reported for each client balancing load balance group are:

  • Members — Number of radio members
  • Clients — Total number of clients for all radio members
  • Average Load — Average load for the group

    The reported average load may not be correct in a failover situation. If some APs in the load balance group fail over the foreign controller, those APs will report to the foreign controller. The member APs will continue to use the member count for the whole group, but the member count displayed on the controller will be for only those APs that are reporting. Since the member count reported on the controller is not the complete set, the average will not be consistent with what the APs are using for the state determination.

The statistics reported for each member of the load balance group are:

  • AP — AP name
  • Radio — Radio number
  • Load — Load value (number of clients currently associated with the AP)
  • State — Load state
  • Probes Declined
  • Auth/Assoc Requests Declined
  • Rebalance Event — Clients removed because of an over-loaded state

The report identifies SIAPP sub-groupings and provide separate group statistics for each sub-group.

When the load group includes sub-groups, Average Load, in red, is the average of the entire group. The average for each sub-group is also reported. The sub-group average is reported in red when group membership changes and not all members have been updated with the new member count.

Load balance group statistics are reported on the foreign controller when APs fail over with load groups from a different controller indicated with an “(F)” following the load group name.
