I thought they are two different things. Band steering to prefer-5 GHz is configured in virtual-ap profile to steer clients that can do both a and g to prefer “a” 5 GHz band where the spectrum is not very crowded. Spectrum load balancing is in RF radio profile to load balancing clients to APs. While the first configuration is prefer for all cases, the later configuration is very useful in the crowded environment such as conference room. I had both of them enable, and found they are working great.
Any experts can confirm the Aruba recommendation about both band steering and spectrum load balancing should not enable at the same time?
