Maximum neighbors to participate in self-healing – The maximum number of
neighboring APs that will increase their power level after a failure.
Maximum power level increase – The number of power levels a neighbor AP
will increase after a failure.
Self-Healing Wait Time – The time after a failure, in milliseconds, after which
the self-healing algorithm will begin. This should be set sufficiently high so that
an AP reboot, rather than a failure, will not trigger the self-healing algorithm.
The equivalent CLI configuration for the above example is:
site-survey max-ha-neighbors 3
site-survey neighbor-tx-power-bump 2
site-survey ha-compute-time 60000
Load Balancing
When multiple APs are available to service users in the same area, load
balancing ensures that a single AP does not become overloaded. Load
balancing works by keeping track of user count and bandwidth utilization for
each AP in the network. If an AP reaches a configured performance threshold,
that AP will attempt to force new clients to a different AP by temporarily
rejecting association attempts. If no other AP is able to pick up the load,
eventually the client will be allowed to associate after a configured interval has
passed.
