free-channel-
index
The difference in the interference index between the new
channel and current channel must exceed this value for the
AP to move to a new channel. The higher this value, the
lower the chance an AP will move to the new channel.
Recommended value is 25.
10-40 25
ideal-coverage-
index
The coverage that the AP should try to achieve on its
channel. The denser the AP deployment, the lower this
value should be. Recommended value is 10.
2-20 10
load-aware-scan-
threshold
Load aware ARM preserves network resources during
periods of high traffic by temporarily halting ARM scanning
if the load for the AP gets too high.
The Load Aware Scan Threshold is the traffic throughput
level an AP must reach before it stops scanning. The
supported range for this setting is 0-20000000 bytes/second.
(Specify 0 to disable this feature.)

max-tx-power Maximum effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) from 3
to 33 dBm in 3 dBm increments. You may also specify a
special value of 127 dBm for regulatory maximum to disable
power adjustments for environments such as outdoor mesh
links. This value takes into account both radio transmit
power and antenna gain.
Higher power level settings may be constrained by local
regulatory requirements and AP capabilities.

min-scan-time Minimum number of times a channel must be scanned
before it is considered for assignment. The supported range
for this setting is 0-2,147,483,647 scans. Best practices are
to configure a Minimum Scan Time between 1-20 scans.
Default: 8 scans

min-tx-power Minimum effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) from 3 to
33 dBm in 3 dBm increments. You may also specify a special
value of 127 dBm for regulatory minimum.This value takes
into account both radio transmit power and antenna gain.
Higher power level settings may be constrained by local
regulatory requirements and AP capabilities.

mode-aware If enabled, ARM will turn APs into Air Monitors (AMs) if it
detects higher coverage levels than necessary. This helps
avoid higher levels of interference on the WLAN. Although
this setting is disabled by default, you may want to enable
this feature if your APs are deployed in close proximity (e.g.
less than 60 feet apart).

multi-band-scan When enabled, single-radio APs try to scan across bands
for rogue AP detection.

no Negates any configured parameter.
noise-threshold Maximum level of noise in a channel that triggers a channel
change (-dBm).

noise-wait-time Minimum time in seconds the noise level has to exceed the
Noise Threshold before it triggers a channel change.

ps-aware-scan When enabled, the AP will not scan if Power Save is active. enabled
rogue-ap-aware When enabled, the AP will try to contain off-channel rogue
APs.
