Syntax set band-preference {none | 5GHz | 2GHz}
Defaults By default, clients are not steered to specific MP radios for RF load balancing.
Access Enabled.
History Introduced in MSS 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 MP for the purpose of load balancing. This global “band-preference” option
controls the degree that an MP 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 the 802.11a band to the 802.11a
radio on an MP:
MX# set band-preference 2GHz

set load-balancing mode
Disables or enables RF load balancing globally on the MX.
Syntax set load-balancing mode {enable | disable}
Defaults RF load balancing is enabled by default.
Access Enabled.
History Introduced in MSS Version 6.0.
Usage By default, RF load balancing is enabled on all MP radios. Use this command to disable or
re-enable RF load balancing globally for all MP radios managed by the MX.
If RF load balancing has been enabled or disabled for a specific MP 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 MP radios managed
by the MX:
MX# set load-balancing mode disable
MX#
