Table 19 Transmit Rates (continued)
Parameter	Default Value	Description
multicast-rate	auto for all radio types	Data rate of multicast frames sent by

MAP radios.

„ rate—Sets the multicast rate to a specific rate. The valid rates depend on the radio type and are the same as the valid rates for mandatory. However, you cannot set the multicast rate to a disabled rate.

„ auto—Sets the multicast rate to the highest rate that can reach all clients connected to the MAP radio.

To change transmit rates for a service profile, use the following command:

set service-profile name transmit-rates {11a 11b 11g} mandatory rate-list[disabled rate-list][beacon-rate rate] [multicast-rate {rate auto}]

The following command sets 802.11a mandatory rates for service profile sp1 to 6 Mbps and 9 Mbps, disables rates 48 Mbps and 54 Mbps, and changes the beacon rate to 9 Mbps:

WX1200# set service-profile sp1 transmit-rates 11a mandatory 6.0,9.0 disabled 48.0,54.0 beacon-rate 9.0

success: change accepted.

Enforcing the Data Rates

By default, the rate set is not enforced, meaning that a client can associate with and transmit data to the MAP using a disabled data rate, although the MAP does not transmit data back to the client at the disabled rate.

You can configure MSS to enforce the data rates, which means that a connecting client must transmit at one of the mandatory or standard rates in order to associate with the MAP. When data rate enforcement is enabled, clients transmitting at the disabled rates are not allowed to associate with the MAP.
