Client Admission Control

Client admission control allows APs to adaptively allow or deny the association of clients based on the potential throughput of the currently associated clients. This helps prevent APs from becoming overloaded with clients and improves user experience for wireless users.

As an administrator, you can help maintain a positive user experience for wireless users on the network by configuring the following client admission control settings:

  • Minimum client count: 0 to 100 (To set the minimum client control to 0, select the Client Admission Control threshold.)

  • Maximum radio load (%) - 50 to 100
  • Minimum client throughput (Mbps) - 0 to 100

Client admission control is implemented on a per radio basis and is supported on 802.11n and 802.11ac APs.

Note: Client admission control cannot be enabled if client load balancing or band balancing (or both) is enabled.
