threshold gain in efficiency for channel reassignment so that the network is
not continually disrupted for minimal gains in efficiency.
For example, if the channel interference must be reduced by 75 percent
and the proposed channel assignments will only reduce the interference by
30 percent, then the channels will not be reassigned. However, if you reset
the minimal channel interference benefit to 25 percent and click Save, the
proposed channel plan will be implemented and the channels will be
reassigned as needed.
• Determine if there is better set of channels every—The schedule for
automated updates. A range of intervals is provided, from 30 minutes to six
months. The default is one hour, meaning that the channel usage is
reassessed and the resulting channel plan is applied every hour.
If you change these settings, click Save. The changes are saved to the active

Use the Wireless Neighborhood page to show up to 20 devices within the range
of each wireless radio in the cluster. For example, if a WAP device has two
wireless radios, 40 devices will be displayed for that device. This page also
distinguishes between cluster members and nonmembers.
The Wireless Neighborhood page can help you:
• Detect and locate unexpected (or rogue) devices in a wireless domain so
that you can take action to limit the associated risks.
• Verify the coverage expectations. By assessing which WAP devices are
visible and at what signal strength from other devices, you can verify that
the deployment meets your planning goals.
• Detect faults. Unexpected changes in the coverage pattern are evident at a
glance in the color coded table.
