Disconnecting a
Wireless Client
/interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/
disconnect client <mac_address>
This command lets you disconnect the specified client from the AP.
You determine the client MAC address with the
show clients
command. See
“Displaying Associated Wireless Clients” on page 87
.
Wireless Client
Load Balancing
/interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/set max-num-clients <max_num> [strict]
This command lets you set the maximum number of clients that can associate
with the AP. Once the maximum is reached, new client associations are not
immediately accepted.
While using this command, keep in mind the following:
• If you do not use the
strict
parameter, and a new client continues to try to
associate after the client maximum is reached, the AP does accept it after
three retries. (All association retries in a one minute interval is considered a
single retry.)
• If you use the
strict
parameter, the AP does not accept a new client when
the client maximum is reached, even if the new client to tries to associate
repeatedly.
• Changing the client maximum does not take effect until two minutes later.
• Changing the client maximum does not disconnect any existing client.
The <max_num> parameter ranges from 0 to 256. The default is 256.
