Manage load balancing for the radios
You can configure the radio utilization thresholds to enable each radio to maintain the
speed and performance of the WiFi network as clients associate with and disassociate
from the WiFi network.
If you enable load balancing, client associations depend on the maximum number of
clients per radio, the channel load per radio, and each client’s Received Signal Strength
Indicator (RSSI). New client associations are allowed if a radio’s utilization remains within
the defined load balancing settings. If a radio’s utilization exceeds the defined load
balancing settings, new client associations are temporary halted until the radio’s
utilization falls within the defined load balancing settings.
Note: The Dashboard page can show information about the client and traffic distribution
per radio as well as the client, traffic, and channel utilization for each radio (see Display
client distribution, connected clients, and client trends on page 189 and View WiFi and
Ethernet traffic, traffic and ARP statistics, and channel utilization on page 193).
By default, all of the following types of load balancing are enabled with their default
settings:
•
Load balancing based on the maximum number of clients: The access point
allows client associations up to the specified maximum number of clients. After the
maximum number is exceeded, new clients are rejected. Even though this is a global
setting, it is implemented per radio.
•
Load balancing based on the channel load: The access point allows client
associations up to the defined maximum channel utilization. After the maximum
channel utilization is exceeded, new clients are rejected. Even though this is a global
setting, it is implemented per radio.
Note: If a client is rejected but persistently tries to associate with the access point,
the access point grants access to that client.
