Release Notes

Parameter Description Range Default
load-aware-scan-threshold
Load aware ARM preserves network
resources during periods of high traffic
by temporarily halting ARM scanning if
the load for the AP gets too high.
The Load Aware Scan Threshold is the
traffic throughput level an AP must
reach before it stops scanning. The
supported range for this setting is 0-
20000000 bytes/second. (Specify 0 to
disable this feature.)

bytes/second
max-tx-power
Maximum effective isotropic radiated
power (EIRP) from 3 to 33 dBm in 3 dBm
increments. You may also specify a
special value of 127 dBm for regulatory
maximum to disable power adjustments
for environments such as outdoor mesh
links. This value takes into account both
radio transmit power and antenna gain.
Higher power level settings may be
constrained by local regulatory
requirements and AP capabilities.

127 dBm
min-scan-time
Minimum number of times a channel
must be scanned before it is considered
for assignment. The supported range
for this setting is 0-2,147,483,647 scans.
Best practices are to configure a
Minimum Scan Time between 1-20
scans.
Default: 8 scans

min-tx-power
Minimum effective isotropic radiated

increments. You may also specify a
special value of 127 dBm for regulatory
minimum. This value takes into account
both radio transmit power and antenna
gain.
Higher power level settings may be
constrained by local regulatory
requirements and AP capabilities.

mode-aware
If enabled, ARM will turn APs into Air
Monitors (AMs) if it detects higher
coverage levels than necessary. This
helps avoid higher levels of interference
on the WLAN. Although this setting is
disabled by default, you may want to
enable this feature if your APs are
deployed in close proximity (e.g. less
than 60 feet apart).
— disabled
multi-band-scan
When enabled, single-radio APs try to
scan across bands for rogue AP
detection.
