Yup
Just to clarify RF profiles work on the RRM platform , it just provides a more
control on the variables that feed into the RRM decision making algorithm. One
of the many applications is controlling how neighbor AP react if the primary
goes down with minimal performance impacts to all
I would agree with you if we’re talking older code, but in 8.2 and beyond,
static plans (channel or power) don’t seem to be a great idea. A static plan
can’t compensate for changes in the RF environment, especially when you toss in
flexible radio assignment, where you can have an AP changing
Hello Team
RRM doesn't quite work well "out of the box" for high density Wi-Fi foot print.
The key is to tweak RRM as per your user requirements (device type,
application bandwidth) + what you designed for from a layer 1 (power/channel
allocation) on a platform like Ekahau
Using RF
Cisco does start with “best practice” metrics, but you can turn knobs – mine
are at defaults. A lot of the setting start with basic low/med/high sensitivity.
Cisco added DBS (dynamic bandwidth selection), which wraps into RRM, FlexDFS,
etc (way too many acronyms). Basically, you set the global
Jeff,
That is extremely interesting from a Cisco perspective and while we don't run
Cisco here; that is very interesting about the channel bias building over time.
What metrics does the RRM and DCA use to change channels? Is that something
that you would adjust or is the preset defaults
Thanks Chris for the whitepaper. Here at the Charleston Area Medical Center,
we have been running DFS for a while now but I was very nervous about DFS
issues given that a regional airport and local weather radar stations are
within radio LOS of our core facilities. For now, DFS channel issues
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
All,
We are building housing for our emeritus faculty members. These will be
private townhouses on our campus that will be networked by us. We are now
discussing whether the switches and AP should be Cisco or Meraki (I realize
Meraki is now Cisco). The decision point lies in how the two
