Nortel Networks 2300 Series Set load-balancing strictness, WSS# set load-balancing mode disable

AP Commands 287

History Introduced in WSS Version 6.0.

Usage By default, RF load balancing is enabled on all AP radios. Use this command to disable or re-enable RF load balancing globally for all AP radios managed by the WSS switch.

If RF load balancing has been enabled or disabled for a specific AP radio, then the setting for the individual radio takes precedence over the global setting.

Examples The following command globally disables RF load balancing for all AP radios managed by the WSS switch:

WSS# set load-balancing mode disable

WSS#

set load-balancing strictness

Controls the degree to which WSS balances the client load among APs when performing RF load balancing.

Syntax set load-balancing strictness {low med high max}

low	No clients are denied service. New clients can be steered to other APs, but
	only to the extent that service can be provided to all clients.
med	Overloaded radios steer new clients to other APs more strictly than the
	low option. Clients attem00pting to connect to overloaded radios may be
	delayed several seconds.
high	Overloaded radios steer new clients to other APs more strictly than the
	med option. Clients attempting to connect to overloaded radios may be
	delayed up to a minute.
max	RF load balancing is strictly enforced. That is, overloaded radios do not
	respond to new clients at all. A client would not be able to connect during
	times that all of the detectable AP radios are overloaded.
Defaults	Low.
Access	Enabled.

History Introduced in WSS Version 6.0.

Usage When performing RF load balancing, WSS Software may attempt to steer clients to less- busy radios in a load-balancing group. To do this, WSS Software makes AP radios with heavy client loads less visible to new clients, causing them to associate with AP radios that have a lighter load.

Use this command to specify how strictly WSS Software attempts to keep the client load balanced
