Changing the User Idle Timeout

Configuring MAPs 239

Responding to keepalive messages requires power use by a client. If you need to conserve power on the client (for example, on a VoIP handset), you can disable idle-client probing.

To disable or reenable idle-client probing, use the following command:

set service-profile name idle-client-probing {enable disable}

The following command disables idle-client probing on service profile sp1:

WX1200# set service-profile sp1 idle-client-probing disable success: change accepted.

The user idle timeout specifies the number of seconds a client can remain idle before the WX changes the client’s session to the Disassociated state. A client is considered to be idle if it does not send data and does not respond to idle-client probes. You can specify a timeout value from 20 to 86400 seconds. The default is 180 seconds (3 minutes). To disable the user-idle timeout, set it to 0.

To change the user-idle timeout, use the following command:

set service-profile name user-idle-timeout seconds

The following command increases the user idle timeout to 360 seconds (6 minutes):

WX1200# set service-profile sp1 user-idle-timeout 360 success: change accepted.

Changing the Short Retry Threshold

The short retry threshold specifies the number of times a radio can send a short unicast frame for an SSID without receiving an acknowledgment for the frame. A short unicast frame is a frame that is shorter than the RTS threshold.

To change the short retry threshold, use the following command:

set service-profile name short-retry threshold

The threshold can be a value from 1 through 15. The default is 5.
