DESCRIPTION
Select this to enable load balancing on the NWA.
Select a mode by which load balancing is carried out.
Select By Station Number to balance network traffic based on the number of specified
stations connect to an AP.
Select By Traffic Level to balance network traffic based on the volume generated by
the stations connected to an AP.
Once the threshold is crossed (either the maximum station numbers or with network
traffic), then the AP delays association request and authentication request packets from
any new station that attempts to make a connection. This allows the station to
automatically attempt to connect to another, less burdened AP if one is available.
Enter the threshold number of stations at which an AP begins load balancing its
connections.
Select the threshold traffic level at which the AP begins load balancing its connections
(Low, Medium, High).
