Setting Description Defaults
NOTE: This setting does not apply to APs that do
not support 802.11n; these APs will scan their
regulatory domain only.
Client Match Select this checkbox to enable the client match
feature, which monitors clients' RF neighborhood to
provide ongoing client bandsteering and load
balancing, and enhanced AP reassignment for
roaming mobile clients. For complete information
on this feature, see Client Match on page 451.
Enabled
Advanced Configuration Settings
Assignment Activates one of the four ARM channel/power
assignment modes:
l disable: Disables ARM calibration and reverts
APs back to default channel and power settings
specified by the AP’s radio profile.
l maintain: APs maintain their current channel
and power settings. This setting is used to
maintain AP channel and power levels after
ARM has initially selected the best settings.
l multi-band: For single-radio APs, this value
computes ARM assignments for both 5 GHZ
(802.11a) and 2.4 GHZ (802.11b/g) frequency
bands.
l single-band: For dual-radio APs, this value
enables APs to change transmit power and
channels within their same frequency band, and
to adapt to changing channel conditions.
Single-band
Allowed bands for
40MHz channels
The specified setting allows ARM to determine if 40
MHz mode of operation is allowed on the 5 GHz or
2.4 GHz frequency band only, on both frequency
bands, or on neither frequency band.
a-only
Client Aware If the Client Aware option is enabled, the AP does
not change channels if there is an active client
associated to that AP. (Activity is defined by the sta-
inactivity-time parameter in the IDS general
profile. By default, a client is considered active if it
has sent or received traffic within the last 60
seconds.)
If you disable Client Aware , the AP may change to
a more optimal channel, but this change may also
disrupt current client traffic.
