446 CHAPTER 11: MANAGED ACCESS POINT COMMANDS

set service-profile

idle-client-probing

Disables or reenables periodic keepalives from MAP radios to clients on a
service profile’s SSID. When idle-client probing is enabled, the MAP radio
sends a unicast null-data frame to each client every 10 seconds. Normally,
a client that is still active sends an Ack in reply to the keepalive.
If a client does not send any data or respond to any keepalives before the
user idle timeout expires, MSS changes the client session to the
Disassociated state.
Syntax — set service-profile name idle-client-probing
{enable | disable}
name — Service profile name.
enable — Enables keepalives.
disable — Disables keepalives.
Defaults — Idle-client probing is enabled by default.

History —Introduced in MSS Version 4.2.
Usage — The length of time a client can remain idle (unresponsive to
idle-client probes) is specified by the user-idle-timeout command.
Examples — The following command disables idle-client keepalives on
service profile sp1:
WX4400# set service-profile sp1 idle-client-probing disable
success: change accepted.
