Important:
When a large number of APs are rebalanced, and if after the rebalance, the assignment of
APs does
not
change, the configured load-balancing metric is also not changed. This
ensures that the load-balancing metric is synchronized between the AP and all controllers
in the domain.
Procedure
1. Perform the following steps to load balance APs using the
location
metric.
a. View the current load balance status on controllers WC1 and WC2 as follows.
The load-balance status indicates that the current load-balancing metric is
LeastLoad
. Also manual load balancing is not configured (preferred and
alternate controllers are not configured).
Load-balance status on WC1:
WC8180#show wireless domain load-balance status
Mobility Domain AP License : 4096
Mobility Domain AP License In Use : 4
Configured Load Balancing Metric : none
Domain Load Balance Status per Method:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Preferred Alternate LeastLoad Location Unknown
--------------- --------- --------- --------- -------- --------
APs load-balanced to WC 0 0 4 0 0
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Load-balance status on WC2:
WC8180#show wireless domain load-balance status
Mobility Domain AP License : 4096
Mobility Domain AP License In Use : 4
Configured Load Balancing Metric : none
Domain Load Balance Status per Method:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Preferred Alternate LeastLoad Location Unknown
--------------- --------- --------- --------- -------- --------
APs load-balanced to WC 0 0 4 0 0
--------------------------------------------------------------------
b. Configure the load balancing metric as
location
on both controllers (WC1
and WC2).
