Description
Before you configure channel plan settings, select the mode to configure.
This field indicates the channel assignment mode. The mode of channel plan
assignment can be one of the following:
• Fixed Time—If you select the fixed time channel plan mode, you
specify the time for the channel plan and channel assignment. In this
mode the plan is applied once every 24 hours at the specified time.
• Manual—With the manual channel plan mode, you control and initiate
the calculation and assignment of the channel plan. You must manually
run the channel plan algorithm and apply the channel plan to the APs.
• Interval—In the interval channel plan mode, the switch periodically
calculates and applies the channel plan. You can configure the interval
to be from every 6 to every 24 hours. The interval period begins when
you click Submit.
The channel plan history lists the channels the switch assigns each of the APs
it manages after a channel plan is applied. Entries are added to the history
regardless of interval, time, or channel plan mode.
The number you specify in this field controls the number of iterations of the
channel assignment.
NOTE: The APs changed in previous iterations cannot be assigned new
channels in the next iteration. This history prevents the same APs from being
changed time after time. For example, if the history depth is set to 3, and an
access point changes its channel for iteration 1, then it will not change the
channel before iteration 5 of the channel adjustment algorithm (if needed).
If you select the Interval channel plan mode, you can specify the frequency
at which the channel plan calculation and assignment occurs. The interval
time is in hours, and you can specify an interval that ranges between every 6
hours to every 24 hours.
If you select the Fixed Time channel plan mode, you can specify the time at
which the channel plan calculation and assignment occurs. The channel plan
calculation will occur once every 24 hours at the time you specify.
