Release Notes

Parameter Description
If enabled, the controller compares whether or not an AP has more clients
than its neighboring APs on other channels. If an AP’s client load is at or over
a predetermined threshold as compared to its immediate neighbors, or if a
neighboring Dell AP on another channel does not have any clients, load
balancing will be enabled on that AP. This feature is disabled by default.
Spectrum load balancing
mode
SLB Mode allows control over how to balance clients. Channel-based load-
balancing balances clients across channels. Radio-based load-balancing
distributes clients across radios on the same band, independent of channels.
Spectrum load balancing
mode update interval
This parameter specifies how often spectrum load balancing calculations
are made (in seconds). The default value is 30 seconds.
Spectrum load balancing
threshold
If the spectrum load balancing feature is enabled, this parameter controls
the percentage difference between number of clients on a channel channel
that triggers load balancing. The default value is 20%, meaning that
spectrum load balancing is activated when there are 20% more clients on
one channel than on another channel used by the AP radio.
Advertised Regulatory Max
EIRP
Shows if the radio is configured to work around a known issue on Cisco
7921G telephones by capping for a radio’s maximum equivalent isotropic
radiated power (EIRP). When you enable this parameter, even if the
regulatory approved maximum for a given channel is higher than this EIRP
cap, the AP radio using this profile will advertise only this capped maximum
EIRP in its radio beacons.
The supported value is1–31 dBm.
Spectrum load balancing
domain
Define a spectrum load balancing domain to manually create RF
neighborhoods.
Use this option to create RF neighborhood information for networks that
have disabled Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) scanning and channel
assignment.
l If spectrum load balancing is enabled in a 802.11g radio profile but the
spectrum load balancing domain is not defined, ArubaOS uses the ARM
feature to calculate RF neighborhoods.
l If spectrum load balancing is enabled in a 802.11g radio profile and a
spectrum load balancing domain isalso defined, AP radios belonging to
the same spectrum load balancing domain will be considered part of the
same RF neighborhood for load balancing, and will not recognize RF
neighborhoods defined by the ARM feature.
RX Sensitivity Tuning Based
Channel Reuse
Shows if the channel reuse feature’s current operating mode, static,
dynamic or disable.
l Static: This mode of operation is a coverage-based adaptation of the
Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) thresholds. In the static mode of
operation, the CCA is adjusted according to the configured transmission
power level on the AP, so as the AP transmit power decreases as the
CCA threshold increases, and vice versa.
l Dynamic: In this mode, the Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) thresholds
are based on channel loads, and take into account the location of the
associated clients. When you set the Channel Reuse This feature is
automatically enabled when the wireless medium around the AP is busy
greater than half the time. When this mode is enabled, the CCA threshold
adjusts to accommodate transmissions between the AP its most distant
associated client.
l Disable: This mode does not support the tuning of the CCA Detect
Threshold.
