Exempting an SSID

from RF Load

Balancing

By default, RF load balancing is applied to client sessions for all SSIDs. To specifically exempt an SSID from load balancing, use the following command:

set service-profileservice-profile-name load-balancing-exempt{enable disable}

Exempting a service profile from RF load balancing means that even if a MAP radio is attempting to steer clients away, it does not reduce or conceal the availability of the SSID named in the exempted service profile. Even if a radio is withholding probe responses to manage its load, the radio does respond to probes for an exempt SSID. Also, if a MAP radio is withholding probe responses, and a client probes for any SSID, and the radio has at least one exempt SSID, the radio responds to the probe, but the response reveals only the exempt SSID(s).

The display load-balancing group command displays a load balancing group member radios and current load for each radio. For example:

WX# display load-balancing group ap 2 radio 1

Radios in the same load-balancing group as: ap2/radio1
