A default rule is created and associated with the general group default policy. It has the following default settings:
The rule is "enabled"
The type is "static and non-bonded DCC"
The method is "modem"
The rule-threshold is "10 percent"
The channel-weight is "equal"
All steering attributes are false
The disable-period is not set.
A GLBG is created for each MD-CM-SG
Each GLBG is associated with the general group default policy, therefore, each GLBG is enabled.
The "init-technique" of the general group default policy is disabled, which in effect, disables periodic load balancing for
each of the GLBGs and needs to be configured if periodic load balancing is desired.
The following are additional load balancing default settings:
The periodic load balancing interval is set to 300 seconds.
The downstream-start-threshold is set to 1 percent.
The upstream-start-threshold is set to 1 percent.
The across Mac Domain check is set to 0 seconds.
The failed-list exclude-count is set to 1.
The failed-list timeout is set to 0, which implies that modems that were placed on the failed-list will remain on the
failed list indefinitely.
To confirm the load balance configuration and display the default values, enter:
