Configuring RF Load Balancing 269

Assigning Radios to Assigning radios to specific load balancing groups is optional. When you Load Balancing do this, MSS considers them to have exactly overlapping coverage areas,

Groups rather than using signal strength calculations to determine their overlapping coverage. MSS attempts to distribute client sessions across radios in the load balancing group evenly. A radio can be assigned to only one group.

To assign radios to load balancing groups, use the following command:

set ap ap-numradio radio-numload-balancing group name [rebalance]

Use the rebalance parameter to configure the radio to disassociate its client sessions and rebalance them whenever a new radio is added to the load balancing group.

To remove a radio from its specified load balancing group, use the following command:

clear ap apnumber radio radio-numload-balancing group

Specifying Band If a client supports both the 802.11a and 802.11b/g bands, you can Preference for RF configure MSS to steer the client to a less-busy radio on a MAP for the

Load Balancing purpose of load balancing.

A global band-preference option controls the degree that a MAP with two radios attempts to conceal one of its radios from a client with the purpose of steering the client to the other radio.

Use the following command to cause clients that support both the 802.11a and 802.11b/g radio bands to be steered to a specific radio on the MAP for the purpose of load balancing:

set band-preference {none 11bg 11a}
