Adding an ESS with the CLI

 Restricted by the number of clients supported by the controller

 Restricted by the number of AP radios On AP300/AP400, the theoretical

maximum number of Virtual Ports is 128 per radio. Meru’s best practices

recommendation is to have no more than 64 per radio.

 Restricted by Virtual Cell There is a hard limit of 2007 Virtual Ports per Virtual

Cell. This number is set by the standard of having no more than 2007 associations

per single BSSID. In Meru's environment, each BSSID represents a Virtual Cell.

Configuring Probe Response Threshold

The Probe Response Threshold configures the way in which an AP responds to

requests based on its distance from the transmitting device. It is designed to ensure

that the AP responds more swiftly to requests sent from stations located nearby. It

is configurable through GUI support in addition to the AP CLI. This feature is also

configured via bulk update on a per-AP interface level. The default probe response

threshold on AP is 15.

This value can be viewed by connecting to
