Parameters
load group name
The name of the load group. Load group names can be up to 32 characters long.
radio
Specifies that this load group will perform band preference steering and load
control.
client
Specifies that this load group will perform client load balancing between radios.
Default is client balancing.
Usage
A radio type load group can perform band preference steering and load control. Band preference
steering is a mechanism to move 11a-capable clients to the 11a radio on the AP, relieving congestion on
the 11g radio. No balancing is done between the 11a and 11g radios. Load control allows you to configure
the maximum number of clients allowed per radio on the AP. Load control is disabled by default. A
radio load group executes band preference steering and/or load control across the radios on each AP
in the group. Each AP balances in isolation from the other APs, but all APs in the group have the same
configuration related to band preference and load control.
A client type of load group performs load balancing based on the number of clients across all APs in
the group and only for the WLANs assigned to the group. This is different from load control in the radio
type group — load control APs make decisions in isolation from each other.
The number of load groups you can create on the WLC711 is 8.
Each load group can contain up to 32 Wireless APs. For information about assigning a Wireless AP to a
load group, see
on page 94.
Examples
The following example creates a load group, which will be the default client balancing type named
loadgroup1:
WLC.siemens.com
:ap:load-groups# create loadgroup1
WLC.siemens.com
:ap:load-groups# show loadgroup1
Load Group ID: loadgroup1
Group Type: client

<named-load-group>
The
<named-load-group>
command, where <named-load-group> refers to the name of a given load
group, moves you into the ap:load-groups:<named-load-group> context, which contains commands to
configure the settings of the specified individual load group.
The following commands are available in the ap:load-groups:<named-load-group> context. The
commands available to you depend on the type of load group you are configuring, either radio or client
