| AI-Driven RRM |
Client Density vs Throughput |
Optimize channel plan for a high number of clients in a dense network: A
high-client-density network requires low interfering channels which fosters improved
throughput, lower latency, better signal quality, stable connections, enhanced user
experience, longer battery life, efficient spectrum utilization, optimized channel
usage, and reduced congestion, leading to higher data rates, higher SNR, consistent
performance, and balanced network load. |
Leverage AI-Driven RRM Full Optimization mode to assess the neighbor AP radio
channels for each AP radio and build a channel plan for each radio to minimize the
interference. In this mode, while building the channel plan, IntentAI may optionally
change the AP Radio Channel Width and Transmit Power to minimize the channel
interference. IntentAI ensures that only the existing channels configured for this
network are utilized in the channel planning process. |
| Optimize channel plan for high client throughput in a sparse network: In
sparse networks supporting high client throughput, moderate interference is
manageable due to optimized resource allocation, minimal competition for bandwidth,
and strong signal strength. This allows for stable connections and satisfactory
performance, outweighing drawbacks of interference. |
Leverage AI-Driven RRM Partial Optimization mode to assess the neighbor AP
channels for each AP radio and build a channel plan for each AP radio to minimize
interference. In this mode, while building the channel plan, IntentAI will not
change the AP Radio Channel Width and Transmit Power. IntentAI ensures that only the
existing channels configured for this network are utilized in the channel planning
process. |
| EquiFlex |
Time to Connect vs. Client Density |
Reduce Management traffic in a dense network: Use intelligent probe
responses to minimize unnecessary traffic, reducing congestion and improving overall
performance by prioritizing essential communications in environments with many
devices. |
Leverage EquiFlex, available only through IntentAI, for intelligent handling of
probe request/response and optimize management traffic in a dense network. For
improved performance, this option will disable the Air Time Decongestion (ATD)
feature if previously enabled for this network. |
| Standard Management traffic in a sparse network: Maintain regular probe
responses to ensure reliable connectivity and network stability, as the lower device
density does not typically cause congestion or performance issues, allowing for
standard management traffic without adverse effects. |
This option will disable the EquiFlex feature and the network will continue
using the current configuration (if any) for handling probe request/response in the
network. For manual control, you may directly change the network
configurations. |
| AI Operations |
Network Efficiency vs Stability on 2.4 GHz radio |
Reduce background scan interval for efficiency: Shortening the interval
between background scans helps the Wi-Fi network quickly adapt to changing
interference and congestion, potentially improving performance and
responsiveness. |
Apply the recommendation: IntentAI will change the background scan interval
allowing the network to swiftly detect and react to interference, optimizing
performance and ensuring a more responsive and efficient Wi-Fi
experience.
|
| Keep background interval unchanged for stability: Maintaining the
current interval for background scans ensures consistent and predictable network
behavior, minimizing the risk of connectivity disruptions and maintaining
stability. |
Do not apply the recommendation: IntentAI will maintain the existing network
configuration and will cease automated monitoring and change for this Intent. For
manual control, you may directly change the network configurations. For automated
monitoring and control, you can select the Resume action,
after which IntentAI will resume overseeing the network for this
Intent.

Expanded Radar channels vs Limited Channel options |
Activate DFS for expanded channel options and performance: Enabling
Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) opens up additional Wi-Fi channels in the 5 GHz
band, which can reduce congestion and improve overall network performance by
utilizing less crowded frequencies. |
Apply the recommendation: IntentAI will enable DFS Radar channels for this
network, allowing access to more channels in the Wi-Fi network hence reducing
congestion and enhancing Wi-Fi performance by leveraging less crowded frequencies.
IntentAI will continuously monitor these configurations.
|
| Keep DFS off to avoid interference and disruptions: Disabling DFS avoids
potential interference with radar systems and the associated disruptions,
maintaining more predictable and stable Wi-Fi operation without the need for radar
detection and channel switching. |
Do not apply the recommendation: IntentAI will maintain the existing network
configuration and will cease automated monitoring and change for this Intent. For
manual control, you may directly change the network configurations. For automated
monitoring and control, you can select the Resume action,
after which IntentAI will resume overseeing the network for this
Intent.

Radar Interference vs Optimal Channel availability |
Turn off DFS to avoid radar interference: Disabling Dynamic Frequency
Selection (DFS) prevents potential interference with radar systems, ensuring stable
Wi-Fi operation without the disruptions associated with radar detection and channel
switching. |
Apply the recommendation: IntentAI will disable DFS Radar channels for this
network, ensuring stable and predictable Wi-Fi performance by avoiding
interference with radar systems and preventing the disruptions caused by mandatory
channel switching. IntentAI will continuously monitor these
configurations.
|
| Keep DFS enabled for optimal channel availability: Enabling DFS provides
access to additional channels in the 5 GHz band, reducing congestion and optimizing
overall Wi-Fi performance by using less crowded frequencies. |
Do not apply the recommendation: IntentAI will maintain the existing network
configuration and will cease automated monitoring and change for this Intent. For
manual control, you may directly change the network configurations. For automated
monitoring and control, you can select the Resume action,
after which IntentAI will resume overseeing the network for this
Intent.

Optimize for 5 GHz Radio vs Longer range with 2.4 GHz |
Optimize for 5 GHz, reduce 2.4 GHz power: This option prioritizes the 5
GHz band by decreasing the transmit power of the 2.4 GHz band, aiming to improve
overall network performance and reliability by encouraging device connection to the
less congested 5 GHz band. |
Apply the recommendation: IntentAI will reduce 2.4 GHz power for this
network. This change will enhance 5 GHz network performance by encouraging device
connection to the less congested 5 GHz band, resulting in faster speeds and
improved reliability for compatible devices. IntentAI will continuously monitor
these configurations.
|
| Preserve 2.4 GHz range, keep power unchanged: This option maintains the
transmit power of the 2.4 GHz band to preserve its range and ensure broader
coverage, prioritizing compatibility and connectivity for devices that rely on the
2.4 GHz band. |
Do not apply the recommendation: IntentAI will maintain the existing network
configuration and will cease automated monitoring and change for this Intent. For
manual control, you may directly change the network configurations. For automated
monitoring and control, you can select the Resume action,
after which IntentAI will resume overseeing the network for this
Intent.

| Energy Saving |
Energy Footprint vs Mission Criticality |
Reduction in energy footprint: Enable PowerSave mode for few access
points during off-peak hours to conserve energy. This approach may involve some
compromises, but overall service quality remains unaffected during these
periods. |
Leverage Energy Saving, available only
through IntentAI for AI/ML based Energy Saving Model for the network. In this
mode, based on the usage pattern PowerSave supported APs are switched to
PowerSaving mode and resumed to normal power based on the increased network
activity.
|
| Operation of the mission critical network: Maintain all access points at
normal power continuously to ensure maximum reliability and performance for critical
applications, guaranteeing uninterrupted, high-quality connectivity essential for
mission-critical operations. |
This option will let all the APs work in normal power mode.
