Which of the following is a prerequisite for enabling the Huawei load balancing function?

Question

Options

• AAPs belong to the same type
• BAPs are under the management of the same AC, and the signals between APs overlap
• CSTA can scan the APs that perform load balancing with each other
• DThe output power settings of the AP are consistent

• A
  3% (1)
• B
  73% (24)
• C
  9% (3)
• D
  15% (5)

Explanation

Huawei's load balancing function works by having the Access Controller (AC) monitor client distribution across its managed APs and steer new associations toward less-loaded ones - this is only possible when all participating APs report to the same AC and their radio coverage areas physically overlap, so that a station is reachable by more than one AP simultaneously. Without a common AC, there is no central entity to compare loads and issue steering decisions; without signal overlap, a station simply has no alternative AP to be directed toward.

Option A is wrong because APs of different models or types can still participate in load balancing under the same AC. Option C confuses cause and effect - STA scanning ability is a consequence of signal overlap, not an independently specified prerequisite in Huawei's implementation. Option D is wrong because uniform output power is not required; APs with different power configurations can still be load-balanced as long as their coverage overlaps.

Memory tip: Think "same boss, overlapping territory." The AC is the boss that coordinates the balancing, and overlapping signals are the territory where a client has a real choice - both conditions must exist before load balancing can do anything useful.
