Parameter Description Range Default
mode, the AP will try to
force 5Ghz-capable APs
to use that radio band.
l Prefer-5GHz (Default): If
you configure the AP to
use prefer-5GHz band
steering mode, the AP will
try to steer the client to
5G band (if the client is
5G capable) but will let
the client connect on the
2.4G band if the client
persists in 2.4G
association attempts.
l Balance-bands: In this
band steering mode, the
AP tries to balance the
clients across the two
radios in order to best
utilize the available 2.4G
bandwidth. This feature
takes into account the
fact that the 5Ghz band
has more channels than
the 2.4 Ghz band, and
that the 5Ghz channels
operate in 40MHz while
the 2.5Ghz band operates
in 20MHz.
NOTE: Steering modes do
not take effect until the band
steering feature has been
enabled. The band steering
feature in ArubaOS versions
3.3.2-5.0 does not support
multiple band-steering
modes. The band-steering
feature in these versions of
ArubaOS functions the same
way as the default prefer-
5GHz steering mode
available in ArubaOS 6.0 and
later.
strict-compli
ance
If enabled, the AP denies
client association requests if
the AP and client station
have no common rates
defined. Some legacy client
stations which are not fully
802.11-compliant may not
include their configured
rates in their association
requests. Such non-
compliant stations may have
difficulty associating with APs
unless strict compliance is
disabled.
