NN47250-100 (Version 02.51)
Syntax set band-preference {none | 11bg | 11a}
Defaults By default, clients are not steered to specific AP radios for RF load balancing.
Access Enabled.
History Introduced in WSS Software Version 6.0.
Usage Use this command to steer clients that support both the 802.11a and 802.11b/g bands, to a
specific radio on an AP for the purpose of load balancing. This global “band-preference” option
controls the degree that an AP with two radios attempts to conceal one of its radios from a client
with the purpose of steering the client to the other radio.
Examples The following command steers clients that support both the 802.11a and 802.11b/g
bands to the 802.11a radio on an AP:
WSS# set band-preference 11a
success : change accepted.
