Parameter Description
Client Match Sticky Client
Check SNR (dB)
If the client's received signal strength indicator (RSSI) is above this signal-
to-noise ratio (SNR) threshold, that client will be allowed to stay asso-
ciated to its current AP. If the client's received signal strength is below this
threshold, it may be moved to a different AP.
Client Match SNR
threshold(dB)
A client triggered to move to a different AP may consider an AP radio a bet-
ter match if the client detects that the signal from the AP radio is stronger
than its current radio by the dB level defined by the cm-sticky-snr-thresh
parameter, and the candidate radio also has a minimum signal level
defined by the cm-sticky-min-signal parameter.
Client Match Sticky
Min Signal
A client triggered to move to a different AP may consider an AP radio a bet-
ter match if the client detects that the signal from the candidate AP radio is
at or higher than the minimum signal level defined by this parameter and
the candidate radio has a higher signal strength than the radio to which
the client is currently associated. (The required improvement in signal
strength can be defined using the cm-sticky-snr-delta command.)
Client Match Restriction
timeout (sec)
When a client is steered from one AP to a more desirable AP, the steer
timeout feature helps facilitate the move by defining the amount of time
that any APs to which the client should NOT associate will not respond to
the AP.
Client Match Load Balancing
threshold (%)
When the client match feature is enabled, clients may be steered from a
highly utilized channel on an AP to a channel with fewer clients. If a chan-
nel on an APradio has this percentage fewer clients than another chan-
nel supported by the client, the client match feature may move clients from
the busier channel to the channel with fewer clients.
Client Match VBR Stale
Entry Age (sec)
The controller maintains client match data for up to 4096 clients showing
the detected SNRvalues for up to 16 candidate APs per client. This table
is periodically updated as APs send client probe reports to the controller.
This parameter defines the amount of time that the controller should retain
client match data from each client probe report.
Client Match Max Steer Failures
The controller keeps track of the number of times the client match feature
failed to steer a client to a different radio, and the reason that each steer
attempt was triggered. If the client match feature attempts to steer a client
to a new radio multiple consecutive times for the same reason but client
steering fails each time, the controller notifies the AP to mark the client as
unsteerable for that specific trigger.
This parameter defines the maximum allowed number of client match
steering fails with the same trigger before the client is marked as unsteer-
able for that trigger.
Client Match Load Balancing
Client Threshold
If an APradio has fewer clients than the client match load balancing
threshold defined by this parameter, the AP will not participate in load bal-
ancing.
Client Match Load Balancing SNR
Threshold (dB)
Clients must detect a SNR from an underutilized AP radio at or above this
threshold before the client match feature considers load balancing a client
to that radio.
