enabling Clear Air

Good Afternoon,

One of our 802.11 groups does not have CleanAir enabled and the other one does. Will enabling CleanAir on the second group interrupt service or is it seamless in the fashion of enabling LLDP on a switch?

Thanks in advance,

I haven't done it when the AP's are in client serving in production. But in my LAB with 2 AP's it doesn't bring any downtime. Also note that inorder to use this you need to have AP's which are clean air capable, if you have 1800 series AP's and 1542 outdoor AP's better enable Spectrum intelligence as well.

But keep in mind I have seen some controllers with high load give up due to excessive logs generated by Clean Air and Spectrum intelligence. So keep an eye on that and plan accordingly.

Cleanair is a separate piece of hardware in the APs, it should not cause any interruption to Wi-Fi service when enabling/disabling it.
