Controls the degree to which MSS balances the client load among MAPs 
when performing RF load balancing.

Syntax —

 set load-balancing strictness 

{low |med |high | max}

„

 — No clients are denied service. New clients can be steered to 

other MAPs, but only to the extent that service can be provided to all 
clients.

„

 — Overloaded radios steer new clients to other MAPs more strictly 

than the low option. Clients attempting to connect to overloaded 
radios may be delayed several seconds.

„

 — Overloaded radios steer new clients to other MAPs more 

strictly than the med option. Clients attempting to connect to 
overloaded radios may be delayed up to a minute.

„

 — RF load balancing is strictly enforced. That is, overloaded radios 

do not respond to new clients at all. A client would not be able to 
connect during times that all of the detectable MAP radios are 
overloaded.

 — 

Low.

 — 

Enabled.

Introduced in MSS Version 6.0.

When performing RF load balancing, MSS may attempt to 

steer clients to 

less-busy radios in a load-balancing group. To do this, 

MSS makes MAP radios with heavy client loads less visible to new clients, 
causing them to associate with MAP radios that have a lighter load.

Use this command to specify how strictly MSS attempts to keep the client 
load balanced across the MAP radios in the load-balancing group. When 
low strictness is specified (the default), MSS makes heavily loaded MAP 
radios less visible in order to steer clients to less-busy MAP radios, but 
ensures that even if all the MAP radios in the group are heavily loaded, 
clients are not denied service.
