Wireless Load Balancing
This chapter shows you how to configure wireless load balancing.
11.1 Wireless Load Balancing Overview
Wireless load balancing is the process whereby you limit the number of connections allowed on an
wireless access point (AP) or you limit the amount of wireless traffic transmitted and received on it.
Because there is a hard upper limit on the AP’s wireless bandwidth, this can be a crucial function in
areas crowded with wireless users. Rather than let every user connect and subsequently dilute the
available bandwidth to the point where each connecting device receives a meager trickle, the load
balanced AP instead limits the incoming connections as a means to maintain bandwidth integrity.
11.2 Wireless Load Balancing Commands
The following table describes the commands available for wireless load balancing. You must use the
configure terminal
command to enter the configuration mode before you can use these
commands.

Command Summary: Load Balancing
COMMAND
DESCRIPTION
[no] load-balancing activate
Enables load balancing. Use the
no
parameter to disable it.
[no] load-balancing kickout
Enables an overloaded AP to disconnect (“kick”) idle clients or
clients with noticeably weak connections.
load-balancing alpha <1..255>
Sets the load balancing alpha value.
When the AP is balanced, then this setting delays a client’s
association with it by this number of seconds.
Note: This parameter has been optimized for the ZyWALL / USG
and should not be changed unless you have been
specifically directed to do so by ZyXEL support.
load-balancing beta <1..255>
Sets the load balancing beta value.
When the AP is overloaded, then this setting delays a client’s
association with it by this number of seconds.
Note: This parameter has been optimized for the ZyWALL / USG
and should not be changed unless you have been
specifically directed to do so by ZyXEL support.
