CHAPTER 11
Wireless Load Balancing
This chapter shows you how to configure wireless load balancing.
11.1 Wireless Load Balancing Overview
Wireless load balancing is the process whereby you limit the number of connections allowed
on an wireless access point (AP) or you limit the amount of wireless traffic transmitted and
received on it. Because there is a hard upper limit on the AP’s wireless bandwidth, this can be
a crucial function in areas crowded with wireless users. Rather than let every user connect and
subsequently dilute the available bandwidth to the point where each connecting device
receives a meager trickle, the load balanced AP instead limits the incoming connections as a
means to maintain bandwidth integrity.
11.2 Wireless Load Balancing Commands
The following table describes the commands available for wireless load balancing. You must
use the
configure terminal command to enter the configuration mode before you can use
these commands.
Table 34 Command Summary: Load Balancing
COMMAND DESCRIPTION
[no] load-balancing kickout Enables an overloaded AP to disconnect (“kick”) idle
clients or clients with noticeably weak connections.
load-balancing mode {station | traffic} Enables load balancing based on either number of
stations (also known as wireless clients) or wireless traffic
on an AP.
load-balancing max sta <1..127> If load balancing by the number of stations/wireless
clients, this sets the maximum number of devices allowed
to connect to a load-balanced AP.
load-balancing traffic level {high | low |
medium}
If load balancing by traffic threshold, this sets the traffic
threshold level.
