Enabling the Policy
Once the reserved channels are defined, the protection policy can be
configured as follows:
Protect Multi-Tenancy SSID Split
If the AM detects an IAP with an SSID that is in the valid SSID list and this
policy is enabled, the AM will perform denial of service against the IAP.
Valid SSID Addresses
Valid SSIDs can be configured as follows:
Enabling the Policy
Once the valid SSIDs are defined, the protection policy can be configured as

AP Load Balancing
The AP load balancing feature allows the system to balance wireless traffic
across adjacent APs. Load balancing can be triggered based on the number of
users or degree of utilization on an AP. When traffic reaches the configured
thresholds on an AP where load balancing is allowed, any new wireless client
station attempting to associate with the saturated AP will be directed to an
adjacent AP instead. Stations which are already associated with the AP not
affected.
For Alcatel Access Points, load balancing is implemented by station
management on the Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch. For third party APs, it is
implemented by AMs.
Load Balancing Options
High and low watermarks must configured if load balancing is enabled. For
example, if load balancing is done based on the number of users per AP, when
the number of users is equal to or greater than the high watermark value, load
balancing is enabled. It is disabled only when number of users on the AP is
less than the low watermark.
