Hello
I have a customer deployment running a few dozen Aruba Instant 6.5.1.0-4.3.1.0_57768 on AP 305's and their Airwave reports are telling me that the 5GHz radios are changing channels every 10 seconds due to "Channel Quality Threshold".
The irony is that I would expect this to happen on 2.4GHz but those radios are quite stable (few changes per day perhaps).
I did some research and it appears that the IAP does not allow the settings of any "thresholds" to influence this behaviour.
But then what "quality thresholds" are we even dealing with here? How can I drill deeper for the root cause, other than to bring out the Sidekick and do a spectrum analysis? It seems to be affecting the UNI-2 channels mostly - if this were a DFS issue then surely the IAP would have chosen a non-DFS channel ?. What I am seeing is a constant flipflop of channel 100, 116, 100, 116 etc - every 10 seconds. Maybe a bug? The AP CLI commands via Airwave GUI don't seem to work too well because the IAP Virtual Controller is managed by Airwave. I have not come across this before but I believe this is working as designed?
But main point of my question is about these mystical thresholds. Where can I find them, and can I tune them?
thanks in advance
