Question
A customer managing a large network has implemented location services. Due to heavy load, it is needed to load balance the data coming through NMSP from the WLCs. Load must be spread between multiple CMX servers to help optimize the data flow for APs. Which configuration in CMX meets this requirement?
Options
- Acmxctl config feature flags nmsplb.cmx-rssi-distribute true
- Bcmxctl config feature flags nmsplb.cmx-loadbalance true
- Ccmxctl config feature flags nmsplb.cmxgrouping true
- Dcmxctl config feature flags nmsplb.cmx-ap-grouping true

Why each option
CMX uses feature flags to control NMSP load distribution, and enabling cmxgrouping allows multiple CMX servers to act as a cluster and share the incoming NMSP data load from WLCs.
`nmsplb.cmx-rssi-distribute` controls how RSSI measurement data is distributed internally but does not enable server-level load balancing across multiple CMX instances.
`nmsplb.cmx-loadbalance` is not a valid CMX feature flag for distributing NMSP load across multiple CMX servers.
The flag `nmsplb.cmxgrouping true` enables CMX grouping mode, which allows multiple CMX nodes to form a processing group and distribute NMSP data from WLCs across the cluster. This directly addresses the requirement to spread load between multiple CMX servers for AP data. It is the specific mechanism designed for scaling CMX deployments under heavy NMSP traffic.
`nmsplb.cmx-ap-grouping` relates to grouping APs for processing logic rather than distributing the server-side processing load across multiple CMX nodes.
