FIGURE 14-5 Load Balancing Configuration
Available parameters are:
Enable Load Balancing – Enables or disables load balancing.
Wait Time before applying Load Balancing (secs) – Specifies the number of
seconds to wait before performing load balancing processing.
Max Association Retries – Specifies the number of association attempts that
will be rejected before a client is allowed to associate to an AP that has
reached a performance threshold.
Maximum User Count High Watermark – The maximum number of client
associations on a single AP, after which load balancing will begin.
Maximum User Count Low Watermark – After load balancing has begun, the
number that the current association count must go below for load balancing
to stop.
Bandwidth Utilization Threshold High Watermark – The maximum
percentage of available bandwidth that must be consumed before load
balancing will begin. The value represents percentage of maximum for a given
radio. For 802.11b, the theoretical maximum bandwidth is 7 Mbps. For
802.11a and g, the theoretical maximum is 30 Mbps.
Bandwidth Utilization Threshold Low Watermark – After load balancing has
begun, the percentage of available bandwidth below which the utilization
must drop before load balancing will end.
