Initiating Manual Channel Plan Assignments
If you specify Manual as the Channel Plan Mode on the Configuration tab, the
Manual Channel Plan
page
allows you to initiate the channel plan algorithm.
To manually run the channel plan adjustment feature, select the radio to update the channels on (5 GHz or 2.4
GHz) and click
Start
.
Figure 371: Manual Channel Plan
Table 339: Channel Plan History
Field
Description
5 GHz (802.11a/n)
2.4 GHz (802.11b/g/n)
The 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz radios use different channel plans, so the switch tracks the
channel history separately for each radio. The channel information that displays on
the page is only for the radio you select.
Operational Status
This field shows whether the switch is using the automatic channel adjustment
algorithm on the AP radios.
Last Iteration
The number in this field indicates the most recent iteration of channel plan
adjustments. The APs that received a channel adjustment in previous iterations
cannot be assigned new channels in the next iteration to prevent the same APs from
being changed time after time.
On the
AP Management > RF Management > Configuration
tab, you can set the
history depth to control the maximum number of iterations stored and displayed in
the channel plan history.
Last Algorithm Time
Shows the date and time when the channel plan algorithm last ran.
Note:
To set the system time on the switch, you must use SNTP, which is disabled by
default. From the Web interface, you configure the SNTP client and server
information from the pages in the
LAN > Administration > System > SNTP
folder.
From the CLI, use the
sntp
commands in Global Config mode.
