Configuring Channels

CAUTION:
Do not disable channel allocation unless you are debugging or there is an
extreme situation that affects the channels.
Automatic channel allocation distributes channels across the managed access points to
reduce interference. Each wireless controller allocates channels for its managed access
points, regardless of their configured security profiles. The wireless controller takes into
consideration interference, traffic load on the access point, and neighborhood maps to come
up with the best channel for an access point. This information, collected over the previous
24 hours, is used by the controller to figure out the best possible channel for the access
point.
