setting lets you set a threshold gain in efficiency for channel reassignment
so that the network is not continually disrupted for minimal gains in
efficiency.
For example, if channel interference must be reduced by 75 percent and
the proposed channel assignments will only reduce interference by 30
percent, then channels will not be reassigned. However, if you reset the
minimal channel interference benefit to 25 percent and click Save, the
proposed channel plan will be implemented and channels will be
reassigned as needed.
• Determine if there is better set of channels every—The schedule for
automated updates. A range of intervals is provided, from 30 minutes to six
months
The default is one hour, meaning that channel usage is reassessed and the
resulting channel plan is applied every hour.
If you change these settings, click Save. The changes are saved to the active
configuration and the Startup Configuration.
Wireless Neighborhood
The Wireless Neighborhood page shows up to 20 devices per radio within range
of each wireless radio in the cluster. (For example, if a WAP device has two
wireless radios, 40 devices would be displayed for that device.) The Wireless
Neighborhood page also distinguishes between cluster members and
nonmembers.
The Wireless Neighborhood view can help you:
• Detect and locate unexpected (or rogue) devices in a wireless domain so
that you can take action to limit associated risks.
• Verify coverage expectations. By assessing which WAP devices are visible
and at what signal strength from other devices, you can verify that the
deployment meets your planning goals.
• Detect faults. Unexpected changes in the coverage pattern are evident at a
glance in the color coded table.
