Configuring RF Management
RF Management profiles are AP model dependent and reusable. Default profiles are intended to make
RF Management easy, getting you up and running without having to configure an RF policy. However,
you can always create additional profiles based o of default RF Management profiles. The RF
Management support is dependent on the AP model.
A Centralized site supports the following AP models:
•
AP39xx supporting ACS Policy for RF Management
•
AP5xx supporting Smart RF Policy for RF Management
Distributed sites support the following AP models, which support Smart RF Policy for RF Management:

Note: If the sensitivity setting is too low, you may be tolerating
channel congestion, impacting network performance. If the
sensitivity setting is too high, you may have diculty finding an
optimal channel. The default Smart RF policy that is delivered with
ExtremeCloud Appliance is configured with Medium sensitivity.
Interference Recovery Determines optimum channel due to noise thresholds, client count and
other factors that influence channel switching algorithms. To avoid
channel flapping, a defined hold-timer disables interference avoidance
for a specific period of time upon detection. Interference Recovery is
enabled for the default Smart RF policy.
