LABEL DESCRIPTION
Enable Load
Balancing
Select this to enable load balancing on the Zyxel Device.
Use this section to configure wireless network traffic load balancing between the managed
APs in this group.
Mode Select a mode by which load balancing is carried out.
Select By Station Number to balance network traffic based on the number of specified
stations connected to the Zyxel Device.
Select By Traffic Level to balance network traffic based on the volume generated by the
stations connected to the Zyxel Device.
Select By Smart Classroom to balance network traffic based on the number of specified
stations connected to the Zyxel Device. The Zyxel Device ignores association request and
authentication request packets from any new station when the maximum number of
stations is reached.
If you select By Station Number or By Traffic Level, once the threshold is crossed (either the
maximum station numbers or with network traffic), the Zyxel Device delays association
request and authentication request packets from any new station that attempts to make a
connection. This allows the station to automatically attempt to connect to another, less
burdened AP if one is available.
Max Station
Number
Enter the threshold number of stations at which the Zyxel Device begins load balancing its
connections.
Traffic Level Select the threshold traffic level at which the Zyxel Device begins load balancing its
connections (Low, Medium, High).
The maximum bandwidth allowed for each level is:
• Low - 11 Mbps
• Medium - 23 Mbps
• High - 35M bps
