History
Introduced in WSS Version 6.0.
Usage
By default, RF load balancing is enabled on all AP radios. Use this command to disable or
re-enable RF load balancing globally for all AP radios managed by the WSS switch.
If RF load balancing has been enabled or disabled for a specific AP radio, then the setting for the
individual radio takes precedence over the global setting.
Examples
The following command globally disables RF load balancing for all AP radios
managed by the WSS switch:
WSS# set load-balancing mode disable
WSS#

History
Introduced in WSS Version 6.0.
Usage
When performing RF load balancing, WSS Software may attempt to steer clients to less-
busy radios in a load-balancing group. To do this, WSS Software makes AP radios with heavy client
loads less visible to new clients, causing them to associate with AP radios that have a lighter load.
Use this command to specify how strictly WSS Software attempts to keep the client load balanced
low No clients are denied service. New clients can be steered to other APs, but
only to the extent that service can be provided to all clients.
med Overloaded radios steer new clients to other APs more strictly than the
low option. Clients attem00pting to connect to overloaded radios may be
delayed several seconds.
high Overloaded radios steer new clients to other APs more strictly than the
med option. Clients attempting to connect to overloaded radios may be
delayed up to a minute.
max RF load balancing is strictly enforced. That is, overloaded radios do not
respond to new clients at all. A client would not be able to connect during
times that all of the detectable AP radios are overloaded.
