Configuring Load Balancing
You can set network utilization thresholds on the UAP to maintain the speed and performance of the wireless
network as clients associate and disassociate with the AP. The load balancing settings apply to all supported
radios.
To configure load balancing and set limits and behavior to be triggered by a specified utilization rate of the
access point, click the Load Balancing tab and update the fields shown in the following figure.
Field
Description
Load Balancing
Enable or disable load balancing:
To enable load balancing on this AP, click Enable.
To disable load balancing on this AP, click Disable.
Utilization for No
Provide the percentage of network bandwidth utilization allowed on the radio before the
New Associations
AP stops accepting new client associations.
The default is 0, which means that all new associations will be allowed regardless of the
utilization rate.
Note: After you configure the load balancing settings, you must click Apply to apply the changes and
to save the settings. Changing some settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes.
If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change AP
settings when WLAN traffic is low.
