7.3.8 AP Load Balancing Feature
It is a function to prevent managed APs from overloading. When the system detects
the occurrence of APs' associated-client numbers exceeding a predefined threshold
at circumstances and other APs in the same group are still below the threshold, the
balancing function will be activated to decrease the overloading APs' transmit power
and increase other available APs' transmit power; this would increase chances for
other available APs to be associated. The system can divide the managed APs into
groups; define the group threshold, and a time interval which will trigger the AP
load balancing.
Wide Area AP Management feature also supports the grouping of various managed
APs and perform transmit power management to spread the network load as evenly
as possible among APs of the same group.
The administrator can specify the criteria under which AP load balancing feature will
be enforced. The attributes that can be customized for creating your own load
balancing initiation criteria includes the enforcement interval and the associated
client or traffic threshold.
These are automatically calculated by the Controller via the distance attributes of
each of the managed AP profile.
