setting lets you set a threshold gain in efficiency for channel reassignment 
so that the network is not continually disrupted for minimal gains in 
efficiency.

For example, if channel interference must be reduced by 75 percent and 
the proposed channel assignments will only reduce interference by 30 
percent, then channels will not be reassigned. However, if you reset the 
minimal channel interference benefit to 25 percent and click Save, the 
proposed channel plan will be implemented and channels will be 
reassigned as needed.

•

Determine if there is better set of channels every—The schedule for 
automated updates. A range of intervals is provided, from 30 minutes to six 
months

The default is one hour, meaning that channel usage is reassessed and the 
resulting channel plan is applied every hour.

If you change these settings, click Save. The changes are saved to the active 
configuration and the Startup Configuration.

The Wireless Neighborhood page shows up to 20 devices per radio within range 
of each wireless radio in the cluster. (For example, if a WAP device has two 
wireless radios, 40 devices would be displayed for that device.) The Wireless 
Neighborhood page also distinguishes between cluster members and 
nonmembers.

The Wireless Neighborhood view can help you:

•

Detect and locate unexpected (or rogue) devices in a wireless domain so 
that you can take action to limit associated risks.

•

Verify coverage expectations. By assessing which WAP devices are visible 
and at what signal strength from other devices, you can verify that the 
deployment meets your planning goals.

•

Detect faults. Unexpected changes in the coverage pattern are evident at a 
glance in the color coded table.
