Description

 

steers the client to the 5 GHz band (if the client is 5 GHz capable), but allows the

 

 

client connection on the 2.4 GHz band if the client persistently attempts for 2.4 GHz

 

association.

 

 

Force 5 GHz

Select this option to enforce 5 GHz band steering mode on the APs.

 

 

Balance Bands

Select this option to allow the AP to balance the clients across the two radios to

 

best utilize the available 2.4 GHz bandwidth. This feature takes into account the

 

fact that the 5 GHz band has more channels than the 2.4 GHz band, and that the 5

 

GHz channels operate in 40 MHz, while the 2.5 GHz band operates in 20MHz.

 

 

Disable

Select this option to allow the clients to select the band to use.

 

 

3. For AIRTIME FAIRNESS MODE specify any of the following values:

Description

 

 

Default Access

Select this option to provide access based on client requests. When AIR

 

TIME FAIRNESS is set to default access, per user and per SSID bandwidth

 

limits are not enforced.

 

 

Fair Access

Select this option to allocate Airtime evenly across all the clients.

 

 

Preferred Access

Select this option to set a preference where 11n clients are assigned more air-

 

time than 11a/11g. The 11a/11g clients get more airtime than 11b. The ratio is

 

16:4:1.

 

 

4. For additional options, specify the following parameters:

Select Enabled to enable the MotionAware feature on APs. When enabled,

MOTION AWARE

(MA)

client count is balanced among all the channels in the same band.

 

When HP MotionAware is enabled, ensure that scanning is enabled.

 

 

MA

Specify a value for the calculating interval of HP MotionAware. The value specified

CALCULATING

for MA CALCULATING INTERVAL determines the interval at which HP

INTERVAL

MotionAware is calculated. The interval is specified in seconds and the default

 

value is 30 seconds. You can specify a value within the range of 10-600.

 

 

MA NEIGHBOR

Specify a value for MA NEIGHBOR MATCHING %. This number takes into

MATCHING %

account the least similarity percentage to be considered as in the same virtual RF

 

neighborhood of HP MotionAware. You can specify a percentage value within the

 

range of 20-100. The default value is 75%.

 

 

MA THRESHOLD

Specify a value for MA THRESHOLD. This number takes acceptance client count

 

difference among all the channels of HP MotionAware into account. When the cli-

 

ent load on an AP reaches or exceeds the threshold in comparison, HP

 

MotionAware is enabled on that AP.

 

You can specify a value within range of 1-20. The default value is 2.

 

 

SLB MODE

Select a mode from SLB MODE. The SLB mode determines the balancing strategy
