Section 9 - Clustering Multiple APs
Stopping/Starting Automatic Channel Assignment
By default, automatic channel assignment is disabled (off).
Note: Channel Management overrides the default cluster behavior, which is to synchronize radio
channels of all APs across a cluster. When Channel Management is enabled, the radio Channel is
not synced across the cluster to other APs.
•) Click Start to resume automatic channel assignment.
When automatic channel assignment is enabled, the Channel Manager periodically maps radio channels used
by clustered access points and, if necessary, re-assigns channels on clustered APs to reduce interference (with
cluster members or other APs outside the cluster).
•) Click Stop to stop automatic channel assignment. (No channel usage maps or channel re-assignments will be
made. Only manual updates will affect the channel assignment.)
Viewing Current Channel Assignments and Setting Locks
The Current Channel Assignments section shows a list of all access points in the cluster by IP Address. The display
shows the band on which each AP is broadcasting (a/b/g/n), the current channel used by each AP, and an option to
lock an AP on its current radio channel so that it cannot be re-assigned to another.
The following table provides details about Current Channel Assignments.
Field Description
IP Address Species the IP Address for the access point.
Radio Identies the MAC address of the radio.
Band Indicates the band on which the access point is broadcasting.
Current Indicates the radio Channel on which this access point is currently broadcasting.
Status Shows whether the radio is up (on) or down (off).
Locked Click Locked to force the access point to remain on the current channel.
When Locked is selected (enabled) for an access point, automated channel management
plans will not re-assign the AP to a different channel as a part of the optimization strategy.
Instead, APs with locked channels will be factored in as requirements for the plan.
If you click Apply, you will see that locked APs show the same channel for the Current
Channel and Proposed Channel elds. Locked APs will keep their current channels.
Table 68 - Channel Assignments
Viewing the Last Proposed Set of Changes
The Proposed Channel Assignments shows the last channel plan. The plan lists all access points in the cluster by IP
Address, and shows the current and proposed channels for each AP. Locked channels will not be re-assigned and the
optimization of channel distribution among APs will take into account the fact that locked APs must remain on their
current channels. APs that are not locked may be assigned to different channels than they were previously using,
depending on the results of the plan.
Field Description
IP Address Species the IP Address for the access point.
Radio Indicates the radio channel on which this access point is currently broadcasting.
Proposed Channel Indicates the radio channel to which this access point would be re-assigned if the Channel
Plan is executed.
