11.2.1 Wireless Load Balancing Examples
The following example shows you how to configure AP load balancing in "by station" mode. The
maximum number of stations is set to 1.
load-balancing kickInterval <1..255> Enables the kickout feature for load balancing and also sets the
kickout interval in seconds. While load balancing is enabled, the
AP periodically disconnects stations at intervals equal to this
setting.
This occurs until the load balancing threshold is no longer
exceeded.
load-balancing liInterval <1..255> Sets the interval in seconds that each AP communicates with the
other APs in its range for calculating the load balancing algorithm.
Note: This parameter has been optimized for the UAG and should
not be changed unless you have been specifically directed
to do so by ZyXEL support.
load-balancing mode {station | traffic} Enables load balancing based on either number of stations (also
known as wireless clients) or wireless traffic on an AP.
load-balancing max sta <1..127> If load balancing by the number of stations/wireless clients, this
sets the maximum number of devices allowed to connect to a
load-balanced AP.
load-balancing sigma <51..100> Sets the load balancing sigma value.
This value is algorithm parameter used to calculate whether an
AP is considered overloaded, balanced, or underloaded. It only
applies to ‘by traffic mode’.
Note: This parameter has been optimized for the UAG and should
not be changed unless you have been specifically directed
to do so by ZyXEL support.
load-balancing timeout <1..255> Sets the length of time that an AP retains load balancing
information it receives from other APs within its range.
load-balancing traffic level {high | low |
medium}
If load balancing by traffic threshold, this sets the traffic
threshold level.
