Configuration Guide Configuring Band Select
band-select age-out { dual-band value | suppression value }
dual-band value: Specifies the aging time of dual-band STA information, ranging from 20 to 120
seconds.
suppression value: Specifies the aging time of inhibition STA information, ranging from 10 to 60
seconds.
The aging time of dual-band STA information is 60 seconds and the aging time of inhibition STA
information is 20 seconds.
Global configuration mode
It is recommended that the aging time of dual-band STA information be set to twice or three times that of
inhibition STA information.
Configuring the Probe Count of an Inhibition STA
(Optional) If a single-band 2.4 GHz STA cannot discover a WLAN for a long time, this parameter should be set to a
smaller value.
If there is no special requirement, enable this function on a fat AP.
The greater the probe count of an STA, the stronger inhibition the Band Select function performs on an inhibition
STA, and the more difficult the inhibition STA discovers a WLAN. On the other hand, the smaller the probe count of
an STA, the weaker inhibition the Band Select function performs on an inhibition STA, and the easier the inhibition
STA discovers a WLAN.
band-select probe-count value
value: Specifies the probe count of an inhibition STA, ranging from 1 to 10.
Global configuration mode
Configuring the Scanning Cycle Threshold of an STA
(Optional) If a single-band 2.4 GHz STA cannot discover a WLAN for a long time, this parameter should be set to a
smaller value. If it is uncertain, use the Defaults.
If there is no special requirement, enable this function on a fat AP.
The greater the scanning cycle threshold of an STA, the more slowly the probe count of the STA increases, and the
more difficult the STA discovers a WLAN. On the other hand, the smaller the scanning cycle threshold of the STA,
the more quickly the probe count of the STA increases, and the easier the STA discovers a WLAN.
band-select scan-cycle value
value: Specifies the scanning cycle threshold of an STA, ranging from 1 to 1000 milliseconds.
The default value is 200 milliseconds.
