Client Match for Access Points in a Zone
When Client match is enabled, the decision to move a client from the home W-IAP to a target W-IAP is made at
the radio level. However, this proves inefficient when client match is enabled on an W-IAP or SSIDoperating in
a specific zone, it could result in the client being moved to a target W-IAP that does not have the same zone
specific SSID as the home W-IAP.
Starting from Instant 6.5.1.0-4.3.1.0, the decision to move a client from a home W-IAP to a target W-IAP will be
made at the SSID level instead of the radio level, by adding the SSIDname to the client match radio database.
Client Match will check if the same SSID (zone specific SSIDon Home W-IAP) is available on the target W-IAP
before it moves the client. This ensures that client match works as expected when zone settings are configured
on the W-IAP.
Additionally, the maximum clients threshold and the current associated client number of the SSID is added to
the client match radio database to prevent the clients from being moved to an SSIDwhose associated client
number is already reached its limit.
You can use the following commands to view the SSID details stored in client match:
The show ap client-match-ssid-table command displays the client match SSIDtable for the current W-IAP
and its neighboring W-IAPs.
The show ap client-match-ssid-table radio-mac <mac> command displays the client match SSIDtable for
a specific W-IAP denoted by its mac address.
Configuring Radio Settings
You can configure 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio settings for a W-IAP either using the Instant UI or the CLI.
In the Instant UI
To configure radio settings:
1. Click the RF link located directly above the Search bar of the Instant main window.
