DESCRIPTION
Enable Load
Balancing
Select this to enable load balancing on the NWA3000-N series AP.
Mode
Select a mode by which load balancing is carried out.
Select
By Station Number
to balance network traffic based on the
number of specified stations connect to an AP.
Select
By Traffic Level
to balance network traffic based on the
volume generated by the stations connected to an AP.
Once the threshold is crossed (either the maximum station numbers
or with network traffic), then the AP delays association request and
authentication request packets from any new station that attempts to
make a connection. This allows the station to automatically attempt
to connect to another, less burdened AP if one is available.
Max Station
Number
Enter the threshold number of stations at which an AP begins load
balancing its connections.
Traffic Level
Select the threshold traffic level at which the AP begins load balancing
its connections (low, medium, high).
