Configuring Self Healing Options
Load Balancing
Key points on load balancing:
• These rules apply only to client devices; the AP always responds to another AP
that is attempting to set up or maintain a mesh network.
• Load balancing does not disassociate clients already connected.
• Load balancing takes action before a client association request, reducing the
chance of client misbehavior.
• The process does not require any time-critical interaction between APs and
ZoneDirector.
• Provides control of adjacent AP distance with safeguards against abandoning
clients.
• Can be disabled on a per-WLAN basis; for instance, in a voice WLAN, load
balancing may not be desired due to voice roaming considerations.
• Background scanning must be enabled on the WLAN for load balancing to work.
To enable Load Balancing globally:
1 Go to Configure > Services.
2 In Load Balancing, choose to perform load balancing on either the 2.4 or 5 GHz
radio.
3 Enter Adjacent Radio Threshold (in dB), and click Apply.
