Radio Assignment tab - this tab is available only for load groups assigned the Client Balancing type
Select AP Radios From the drop-down menu, select the AP radios that you want to
assign to the load group. Options include:
• All radios
• Radio 1
• Radio 2
• Clear all radios
You can assign a radio to only one load balance group. A radio
that is assigned to another load balance group will have an
asterisk next to it. If you select a radio that has been assigned to
another load balance group, the radio is reassigned to the new
load balance group.
Note:
You can assign each radio of an AP to different load balance
groups.
Radio Preference tab - this tab is available only for load groups assigned the Radio Preference type
Band Preference Select the Enable checkbox to enable band preference for this
load group.
For the 802.11n models only, you can apply band preference only
to a VNS assigned in the load group. Enabling band preference
enables you to move an 11a-capable client to an 11a radio to
relieve congestion on an 11g radio. A client is considered 11a
capable if the AP receives requests on an 11a VNS that already
belongs to a load group with band preference enabled. After you
configure band preference, if a client tries to reassociate with an
11g radio, it will be rejected if the AP determines that the client is
11a capable.
Load Control Select the following parameters for each radio assigned to this
load group:
Enable: Select this checkbox to enable Radio Load Control (RLC)
for individual radios (Radio1 and Radio2) associated with this
Load Group.
Max. # of Clients: Enter the maximum number of clients for Radio
1 and Radio 2. The default limit is 60. The valid range is: 5 to 60.
Strict Limit: Select this checkbox to enable a strict limit on the
number of clients allowed on a specific radio, based on the max #
of clients allowed. Limits can be enforced separately for radio1
and radio 2.
AP Assignment Select the APs on which you want to enforce the Band Preference
and Load Control settings.
