Band Steering without Load Groups?

[Tony1]

Hi guys

Is it possible to activate Band Steering (moving clients to 5 GHz band) without Load groups?
The customer request is to enable this feature on all access points. Due to huge number of APs and effort needed to create spearate Load groups - my idea is to just enable it globally on the WLC or per AP.

thank you!

Thanks for the fast replys.

But I think it's not really usable for all APs. Due to the fact that this option cannot be enabled globally and I have to add every single AP to the Radio Preference Group and activate it per SSID. That would mean on a 5210 Controller I have to manually select 1000 APs add them to the group and afterwards select two or more SSIDs -- that is a lot of work (mouseclicks).

And then every new AP must be manually added again.

No restrictions for band preference.

Is there no restiction of max 32 APs per load group or is that only for client balancing load groups?

Ron/Tony,

I'm caffeinated up and ready to go. Load Groups is just the name of the higher level group. Under that is :

• Client Balancing
• Radio Preference

Radio preference can be enabled on all access points for all WLAN-Services.
