Static Load Balancing Group
Context
The load balancing function applies to scenarios where there is a high degree of overlap between APs' coverage ranges. If APs engaged in load balancing are far from each other, a STA may connect to a distant AP, which affects wireless experience of users.
When the load difference between APs reaches the load difference threshold, some STAs may access the network slowly because the APs will reject access requests of STAs according to the load balancing algorithm. If a STA continues sending association requests to an AP, the AP allows the STA to associate when the number of consecutive association attempts of the STA exceeds the maximum number of rejection times.
- If dual-band APs are used, traffic is load balanced among APs working on the same frequency band.
- Each load balancing group supports a maximum of 16 AP radios.
- Under the agile distributed network architecture composed of the central AP and RUs, you only need to add radios of the RUs to a static load balancing group.
