sta-load-balance dynamic sta-number start-threshold
Function
The sta-load-balance dynamic sta-number start-threshold command sets the start threshold for dynamic load balancing based on the number of users.
The undo sta-load-balance dynamic sta-number start-threshold command restores the default start threshold for dynamic load balancing based on the number of users.
By default, the start threshold for dynamic load balancing based on the number of users is 10.

The value is an integer that ranges from 1 to 40. |
Usage Guidelines
When a user requests to connect to an AP, the AP counts the total number of access users on all radios. If the number of access users on the requested radio does not exceed the start threshold, the AP does not implement dynamic load balancing based on the number of users. The AP implements dynamic load balancing based on the number of users only after the number of access users exceeds the start threshold.
The start and load difference thresholds for dynamic load balancing configured using the sta-load-balance dynamic sta-number gap-threshold command can be used to adjust sensitivity for triggering load balancing. The default values are recommended in typical scenarios. A higher threshold is recommended in high-density scenarios. If the start and load difference thresholds are set low, load balancing becomes far easier to be triggered. As a result, STAs are frequently switched between APs, affecting user experience. If the start and load difference thresholds are set high, the load balancing mechanism may become invalid.
