Band
Indicates the band (b/g or a) on which the access point is
broadcasting.
Current
Indicates the radio
channel on which this access point is currently
broadcasting.
Locked
Click Locked if you want to this access point to remain on the current
channel.
When the Locked checkbox is checked (enabled) for an access point,
automated channel management plans will not re-assign the access
point to a different channel as a part of the optimization strategy.
Instead, access points with locked channels are factored in as
requirements for the plan.
If you click Update, you will see that locked access points show the
same channel for Current Channel and Proposed Channel. Locked
access points keep their current channels.
Updating the
Current Channel
Settings
Manually
To run a manual channel management update at any time, click Update in
the Advanced section.
Viewing the Last
Proposed Set of
Changes
The Last Proposed Set of Channel Assignments section shows the last
channel plan. The plan lists all access points in the cluster by IP Address,
and shows the current and proposed channels for each access point.
Locked channels are not reassigned and the optimization of channel
distribution among access points takes into account the fact that locked
access points must remain on their current channels. Access points that
are not Locked may be assigned to different channels than they were
previously using, depending on the results of the plan. The following
information is displayed:
IP Address
Specifies the
IP address for the access point.
Current
Indicates the radio channel on which this access point is currently
broadcasting.
Proposed
Indicates the radio channel to which this access point would be re-
assigned if the Channel Plan is executed.
