Assign up to four self healing actions:
1. No action
2. Decrease supported rates
3. Increase Tx power
4. Both 2 and 3.
You can specify the Detector AP (AP2 or AP3) to stop detecting and adopt the RF settings of the
failed AP. For more information on configuring self healing, see
page 314.
Wireless capacity
Wireless capacity specifies the maximum numbers of Clients, Access Points and wireless networks
usable by a controller. Wireless capacity is largely independent of performance. Aggregate
controller performance is divided among the controller clients (Clients and Access Points) to find
the performance experienced by a given user. Each controller platform is targeted at specific
market segments, so the capacity of each platform is chosen appropriately. Wireless Controller
capacity is measured by:
•
•
•
•
The actual number of Access Points adoptable by a controller is defined by the controller licenses
or the total licenses in the cluster in which this controller is a member.
AP and client load balancing
Fine tune a network to evenly distribute data and/or processing across available resources. Refer
to the following:
•
•
Client balancing across multiple APs
Per the 802.11 standard, AP and Client association is a process conducted independently of the
controller. 802.11 provides message elements used by the Client firmware to influence roaming
decisions. The controller implements the following Client load balancing techniques:
