Chapter 9 Wireless 9.5 Load Balancing Use this screen to configure wireless network traffic load balancing between the APs on your network. Click Configuration > Wireless > Load Balancing to access this screen. Figure 102 Configuration > Wireless > Load Balancing Each field is described in the following table. Table 61 Configuration > Wireless > Load Balancing LABEL Enable Load Balancing Mode DESCRIPTION Select this to enable load balancing on the UAG. 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. Max Station Number Traffic Level Disassociate station when overloaded 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. Enter the threshold number of stations at which an AP begins load balancing its connections. Select the threshold traffic level at which the AP begins load balancing its connections (low, medium, high). Select this option to disassociate wireless clients connected to the AP when it becomes overloaded. If you do not enable this option, then the AP simply delays the connection until it can afford the bandwidth it requires, or it transfers the connection to another AP within its broadcast radius. The disassociation priority is determined automatically by the UAG and is as follows: • Idle Timeout - Devices that have been idle the longest will be disassociated first. If none of the connected devices are idle, then the priority shifts to Signal Strength. • Signal Strength - Devices with the weakest signal strength will be disassociated first. Note: If you enable this function, you should ensure that there are multiple APs within the broadcast radius that can accept any rejected or kicked wireless clients; otherwise, a wireless client attempting to connect to an overloaded AP will be kicked continuously and never be allowed to connect.

DESCRIPTION

Enable Load

Balancing

Select this to enable load balancing on the UAG.

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).

Disassociate

station when

overloaded

Select this option to disassociate wireless clients connected to the AP when it becomes

overloaded. If you do not enable this option, then the AP simply delays the connection

until it can afford the bandwidth it requires, or it transfers the connection to another AP

within its broadcast radius.

The disassociation priority is determined automatically by the UAG and is as follows:

•

Idle Timeout

- Devices that have been idle the longest will be disassociated first. If

none of the connected devices are idle, then the priority shifts to

Signal Strength

•

Signal Strength

- Devices with the weakest signal strength will be disassociated first.

Note: If you enable this function, you should ensure that there are multiple APs within the

broadcast radius that can accept any rejected or kicked wireless clients; otherwise, a

wireless client attempting to connect to an overloaded AP will be kicked continuously

and never be allowed to connect.
