With automated channel management, APs in the cluster are automatically re-assigned to
non-interfering
channels as shown in below figure.
Figure 18: After Channel Management Enable
Configuring and Viewing Channel Management Settings
The Channel Management page shows previous, current, and planned channel assignments for clustered
access points. By default, automatic channel assignment is disabled. You can start channel management to
optimize channel usage across the cluster on a scheduled interval.
From this page, you can view channel assignments for all APs in the cluster, stop/start automatic channel
management, and manually "update" the current channel map (APs to channels). On a manual update, the
Channel Manager will assess channel usage and, if necessary, re-assign APs to new channels to reduce
interference based on the current Advanced Settings.
By using the Advanced settings you can modify the interference reduction potential that triggers channel
re-assignment, change the schedule for automatic updates, and re-configure the channel set used for
assignments.
The following sections describe how to configure and use channel management on your network:
