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 associated
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 Delta
Bound(dB)
A client triggered to move to a different AP may consider an AP radio a
better 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
better 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 Steering
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 channel
on an APradio has this percentage fewer clients than another channel
supported by the client, the client match feature may move clients from the
busier channel to the channel with fewer clients.
Client Match IOS Steering
Backoff Interval (sec)
Client Match attempts only one Apple iOS steer every backoff interval (in
seconds).
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 Steering
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
unsteerable 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
balancing.
