Description

mandatory

„

11a— 6.0,12.0,24.0

Set of data transmission rates that

 

„

11b—1.0,2.0

clients are required to support in order

 

to associate with an SSID on a MAP

 

 

11g—1.0,2.0,5.5,11.0

 

„

radio. A client must support at least one

 

 

 

of the mandatory rates.

 

 

 

These rates are advertised in the basic

 

 

 

rate set of 802.11 beacons, probe

 

 

 

responses, and reassociation response

 

 

 

frames sent by MAP radios.

 

 

 

Data frames and management frames

 

 

 

sent by MAP radios use one of the

 

 

 

specified mandatory rates.

 

 

 

The valid rates depend on the radio type:

 

 

 

„

11a—6.0, 9.0, 12.0, 18.0, 24.0,

 

 

 

 

36.0, 48.0, 54.0

 

 

 

„ 11b—1.0, 2.0, 5.5, 11.0

 

 

 

„

11g—1.0, 2.0, 5.5, 6.0, 9.0, 11.0,

 

 

 

 

12.0, 18.0, 24.0, 36.0, 48.0, 54.0

 

 

 

Use a comma to separate multiple rates;

 

 

 

for example: 6.0,9.0,12.0

setting applies only to data sent by the

 

 

 

MAP radios. The radios will still accept

 

 

 

frames from clients at disabled data

 

 

 

rates.

 

 

 

The valid rates depend on the radio type

 

 

 

and are the same as the valid rates for

If you disable a rate, you cannot use the

 

 

 

rate as a mandatory rate or the beacon

 

 

 

or multicast rate. All rates that are

 

 

 

applicable to the radio type and that are

 

 

 

not disabled are supported by the radio.

11a—6.0

Data rate of beacon frames sent by

MAP radios. This rate is also used for

 

probe-response frames.

 

 

11g—2.0

 

„

The valid rates depend on the radio type

 

 

 

and are the same as the valid rates for mandatory. However, you cannot set the beacon rate to a disabled rate.
