Parameter Description
Client match
Select Enabled to enable the Client match feature on APs. When enabled,
client count will be balanced among all the channels in the same band. For
more information, see ARM Overview on page 250. By default, the client match
feature is disabled.
NOTE: When client match is enabled, ensure that Scanning is enabled.
CM calculating
interval
Specify a value for the calculating interval of Client match. The value specified
for CM calculating interval determines the interval at which client match is
calculated. The interval is specified in seconds and the default value is 30
seconds. You can specify a value within the range of 10-600.
CM neighbor
matching %
Specify a value for CM neighbor matching %. This number takes into account
the least similarity percentage to be considered as in the same virtual RF
neighborhood of client match. You can specify a percentage value within the
range of 20-100. The default value is 75%.
CM threshold
Specify a value for CMthreshold. This number takes acceptance client count
difference among all the channels of Client match into account. When the client
load on an AP reaches or exceeds the threshold in comparison, client match is
enabled on that AP.
You can specify a value within range of 1-255. The default value is 2.
SLB mode
Select a mode from the SLB mode drop-down list. The SLB mode determines
the balancing strategy for client match. The following options are available:
l Channel
l Radio
l Channel + Radio

2. Click OK.
In the CLI
(Instant AP)(config)# arm
(Instant AP)(ARM)# client-match calc-interval <seconds>
(Instant AP)(ARM)# client-match calc-threshold <threshold>
(Instant AP)(ARM)# client-match nb-matching <percentage>
(Instant AP)(ARM)# client-match slb-mode 1
(Instant AP)(ARM)# end
(Instant AP)# commit apply
Access Point Control
You can configure access point control parameters through the Instant UI or CLI.
In the Instant UI
1. For Access Point Control, specify the following parameters in the RF>ARM >Show advanced options
