Define the following AP Load Balancing settings:
Select OK to save the changes made to the profile’s client load balance configuration. Select Reset
to revert to the last saved configuration.
Configuring MINT
MINT provides the means to secure profile communications at the transport layer. Using MINT, a
device can be configured to only communicate with other authorized (MINT enabled) devices.
Keys can be generated externally using any application (like openssl). These keys must be present
on the managed device managing the domain for key signing to be integrated with the UI. A MAP
device that needs to communicate with another first negotiates a security context with that device.
The security context contains the transient keys used for encryption and authentication. A secure
network requires users to know about certificates and PKI. However, administrators do not need to
define security parameters for Access Points to be adopted (secure WISPe being an exception, but
that isn’t a commonly used feature). Also, users can replace any device on the network or move
devices around and they continue to work. Default security parameters for MiNT are such that
these scenarios continue to function as expected, with minimal user intervention required only
when a new network is deployed.
To define a profile’s MINT configuration:
1. Select MINT Protocol from the Advanced profile menu item.
Max. 5 GHz Difference
Considered Equal Set the maximum load difference (from 1 - 100%) considered equal when comparing 5 GHz client
loads. The default setting is 1%.
Min. Value to Trigger 5 Ghz
Channel Balancing Set the threshold (from 1 - 100%) beyond which channel load balancing is triggered in the 5 GHz
radio band. The default setting is 5%.
Weightage given to Client
Count Set the weightage (from 1- 100%) applied to client count calculations in the 5 GHz radio band. The
default setting is 90%.
Weightage given to
Throughput Set the weightage (from 1- 100%) applied to client throughput calculations in the 5 GHz radio band.
The default setting is 10%.
Min. Value to Trigger
Balancing Set a value (from 1 - 100%) used to trigger client load balancing when exceeded. The default setting
is 5%.
Max. AP Load Difference
Considered Equal Set the maximum load balance differential (from 1 - 100%) considered equal when comparing
neighbor Access Point client loads. The default setting is 1%.
Weightage Given to Client
Count Set the weightage (from 1- 100%) applied to client count in an Access Point’s overall load
calculation. The default setting is 90%.
Weightage Given to
Throughout Set the weightage (from 1- 100%) applied to client throughput in an Access Point’s overall load
calculation. The default setting is 10%.
