Load Balancing

SMT-R2000 allows a user to distribute wireless client connections when configuring multiple AP environments to the SMT-R2000. The Load Balancing function prevents a specific AP performance from being lowered by unbalanced wireless traffic.

Load Balancing Settings

Activate "Load Balancing" before setting the load balancing. Then, set up the restrictions and processing method according to AP utilization rate.

Note

Click status > session on the administrator webpage to view the AP utilization rate. (See Session Monitoring page.) Even though a client terminates the access to an AP, if the client can access to the network thorough another AP service, the network will provide the service to the client continuously. The client attempts to access to another AP on the same subnet with the previous AP automatically. As the result, the client can move another AP on the same subnet without any loss. The load balancing settings are applied to the overall loads of an AP. If guest access is allowed, the load balancing is applied to all internal networks and guest networks. In two-radio AP, the load balancing settings are applied to the two radios together. However, each radio load is independently estimated, if guest access is allowed, the internal networks and guest networks are all included.

Item	Description
Load Balancing	Click Use to Enable AP load balancing settings. Click Disable to Disable the UAP load balancing settings.
Utilization for No New Associations	The utilization rate limit is related to wireless bandwidth utilization. Set up the limits of bandwidth utilization rate (%) that indicates when rejecting access of new clients. When the utilization rate exceeds the limit of AP utilization rate, the AP rejects the access of a new client. If this item is set up as '0', the AP allows all accesses regardless of the utilization rate.
Utilization for Disassociation	The utilization rate limit is related to wireless bandwidth utilization. Set up the bandwidth utilization rate limit (%) that indicates when disconnect the client access. If the utilization rate of an AP exceeds the limit, the AP disconnects the client access. If setting up this item as 0, all client accesses are not disconnected regardless of the utilization rate.
Stations Threshold for Disassociation	Set up the desired number of clients to "Stations Threshold". If the number of clients accessing to AP at a specific time is the same to the setup value or less, all client accesses are not disconnected regardless of regardless of the value of "Utilization for Disassociation". Theoretically, the maximum number of simultaneously accessible clients is 2007. It is recommended to set up as a value between 30 and 50 at the maximum. In this range, an AP will be reasonably operated.

Update settings

Update the load balancing settings as follows:

Move to the Load Balancing page.
Set up the load balancing items as desired.
Click the Update button to apply the modification.
