Configuring And Viewing Channel Management Settings
The Channel Management page shows previous, current, and planned channel assignments
for clustered access points. By default, automatic channel assignment is disabled. You can
start channel management to optimize channel usage across the cluster on a scheduled
interval.
From this page, you can view channel assignments for all APs in the cluster, stop/start auto-
matic channel management, and manually "update" the current channel map (APs to
channels). On a manual update, the Channel Manager will assess channel usage and, if nec-
essary, re-assign APs to new channels to reduce interference based on the current Advanced
Settings.
By using the Advanced settings you can modify the interference reduction potential that
triggers channel re-assignment, change the schedule for automatic updates, and re-configure
the channel set used for assignments.
The following sections describe how to configure and use channel management on your
network:
•
"Stopping/Starting Automatic Channel Assignment" on page 78.
•
"Viewing Current Channel Assignments And Setting Locks" on page 78.
•
"Update Current Channel Settings (Manual)" on page 79.
