Configuring Load Balancing
To configure load balancing, you enable load balancing and set limits and
behavior to be triggered by a specified utilization rate of the access point.
Note
To view the current Utilization Rates for access points, click
Cluster > Sessions on the web pages. (See Chapter 5, “Session
Monitoring” on page 65.)
Even when clients are disassociated from an access point, the
network still provides continuous service to client stations if another
access point is within range so that clients can re-connect to the
network. Clients should automatically retry the access point they
were originally connected to and other access points on the subnet.
Clients who are disassociated from one access point should
experience a seamless transition to another access point on the
same subnet.
Load Balancing settings apply to the access point load as a whole.
When guest access is enabled, the settings apply to both internal
and guest networks together.
On a two-radio access point, Load Balancing settings apply to both
radios but the load of each radio is calculated independently and
includes both the internal and guest network (when guest access is
enabled).
To configure load balancing, perform the following procedure:
1. From the main menu, select Advanced > Load Balancing.
