Release Notes

Parameter Description Range Default
l If spectrum load balancing is enabled in
a 802.11a 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.
spectrum-load-
balancing
The Spectrum Load Balancing feature helps
optimize network resources by balancing
clients across channels, regardless of
whether the AP or the controller is
responding to the wireless clients' probe
requests.
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.
— disabled
spectrum-monitoring
Issue this command to turn APs in ap-mode
into a hybrid AP. An AP in hybrid AP mode
will continue to serve clients as an access
point while it scans and analyzes spectrum
analysis data for a single radio channel.
For further details on using hybrid APs and
spectrum monitors to examine the radio
frequency (RF) environment in which the Wi-
Fi network is operating, refer to the
Spectrum Analysis chapter of the Dell
Networking W-Series ArubaOS User Guide.
For a list of APs that can be converted into a
spectrum monitor or hybrid AP, refer to the
Spectrum Analysis chapter of the Dell
Networking W-Dell Networking W-Series
ArubaOS 6.4.x User Guide.
— default
spectrum-profile
<profile>
Specify the rf spectrum profile used by
hybrid APs and spectrum monitors. This
profile sets the spectrum band and device
ageout times used by a spectrum monitor
or hybrid AP radio. For details, see rf
spectrum-profile on page 692.
— default
tpc-power
The transmit power advertised in the TPC IE
of beacons and probe responses. Range: 0-
51 dBm
0-51 dBm 15 dBm
tx-power
Sets the initial transmit power (dBm) on
which the AP operates, unless a better
choice is available through calibration .
This parameter can be set from 0 to 51 in .5
dBm increments, or set to the regulatory
maximum value of 127 dBm.
