Enable Balance Band Loads by Radio to distribute an Access Points client traffic load across both
the 2.4 and 5 GHz radio bands.

Set the following Channel Load Balancing settings:

Enable Balance AP Loads (from within the AP Load Balance field) to distribute client traffic evenly
amongst neighbor Access Points.

Set the following Band Control values:

Define the following Neighbor Selection settings

Set the following Advanced Parameters for client load balancing:

Balance 2.4 GHz Channel
Loads

Select this option to balance an Access Point’s 2.4 GHz client load across all channels available to
that model SKU. This setting is enabled by default.

Balance 5 GHz Channel
Loads

Select this option to balance an Access Point’s 5 GHz client load across all channels available to
that model SKU. This setting is enabled by default.

Max. Band Load
Difference Considered
Equal

Set the maximum load difference (from 1 - 100%) considered equal when comparing band loads.
The default setting is 1%.

Band Ratio (2.4 GHz)

Set the relative load for the 2.4 GHz radio band as a leveled ratio from 1 - 10. The default setting is
0.

Band Ratio (5 GHz)

Set the relative load for the 5 GHz radio band as a leveled ratio from 1 - 10. The default setting is 0.

5 GHz load at which both
bands enabled

Define the 5 GHz radio load value (from 1 - 100%) above which the 5 GHz radio is equally preferred
in the overall load balance distribution. The default is 75%.

2.4 GHz load at which
both bands enabled

Define the 2.4 GHz radio load value (from 1 - 100%) above which the 2.4 GHz radio is equally
preferred in the overall load balance distribution. The default is 75%.

Minimal signal strength for
common clients

Define the minimum signal strength value (from -100 to 30 dBm) that must be exceeded for an
Access Point’s detected client to be considered a common client. the default setting is -100 dBi.

Minimum number of
clients seen

Set the minimum number of clients (from 0 - 256) that must be common to two or more Access
Points for the Access Points to regard one another as neighbors using the common client neighbor
detection strategy. The default setting is 0.

Max confirmed neighbors

Set the maximum number (from 1 - 16) of neighbor Access Points that must be detected amongst
peer Access Point to initiate load balancing. The default setting is 16.

Minimum signal strength
for smart-rf neighbors

Set the minimal signal strength value (from -100 to 30 dBm) for an Access Point detected using
Smart RF to qualify as a neighbor Access Point. the default setting is - 65 dBm.

Max. 2.4 GHz Difference
Considered Equal

Set the maximum load difference (from 1 - 100%) considered equal when comparing 2.4 GHz client
loads. The default setting is 1%.

Min. Value to Trigger 2.4
Ghz Channel Balancing

Set the threshold (from 1 - 100%) beyond which channel load balancing is triggered in the 2.4 GHz
radio band. The default setting is 5%.

Weightage given to Client
Count

Set the weightage (from 1- 100%) applied to client count calculations in the 2.4 GHz radio band. The
default setting is 90%.

Weightage given to
Throughput

Set the weightage (from 1- 100%) applied to client throughput calculations in the 2.4 GHz radio
band. The default setting is 10%.
