HI,
ARM will not trigger the AP to change the channel when clients are connected if "Client Aware is " enabled. but it will ignore this if find any RADAR signal or Rouge found in the current channel.
For your ref :
When ARM will trigger the AP to change the Channel:
- The Interference Index metric on a new channel is at least “arm free-channelindex” value less than its current channel interference index value
- The ARM noise-threshold value is reached
- The ARM error-rate-threshold is reached
- When a Radar is detected
- If the AP is initially on a non-valid channel
- If “arm rogue-ap-aware” is enabled and an active client is found using the Rogue AP
What AP will do once it receives trigger from ARM:
1.Then it will wait for “arm wait-time” (default is 15 seconds) before it makes a change.
2.It will not make a change if “arm assignment” is set to disabled, maintain, or if “arm client-aware” is enabled and wireless clients are associated to the AP
3.Once it moves to a new channel that has the least interference then it will restart its scanning process on all Regulatory Domain channels for “arm min-scan time”
4.It won’t change to another channel until “arm backoff-time” (default is 240 seconds) is reached.
This is how ARM will handle RF, hope you got more clarity on ARM.
Please feel free if more clarity required on this.
