At least on the Cisco side, their RRM (radio resource management) and DCA (dynamic channel assignment) are so good that even the Cisco guys that once promoted static plans back nearly 10 years ago admitted it now does a much better job than a human. Environments change, so letting the

Todd, The Aruba equipment reports a radar event once in a while for channel 144; we are assuming that it's because we are close to a small airport. Even if it were a false positive, I'm not inclined to try to use the channel if there is a chance that clients will get knocked off. Based on the

Hello Jon, Thanks for the input! Aruba’s ARM is frequently been cited as the poster child for dynamic channel plans. I am not using Aruba here but it is probably my next upgrade choice unless something better comes long. Does ARM detect if an AP goes down and adjust TX power and/or channel

Todd, We are an Aruba shop using dynamic channel plans. We let Aruba's ARM (Adaptive Radio Management) decide on the best channel for each radio, and in some cases, give it the ability to turn off a 2.4 radio if it detects that there's too much co-channel interference in an area. ARM will not
