Note that this setting for a
The channels available will depend on the radio mode of your access point and the country in which the AP is operating. The following mappings of modes to channel sets assume the AP is operating in the United States (country code is "us"). For more information on setting the channel policy, see “4. Set the Channel Policy”.
∙For IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g modes (including b/g radios), the radio can use channels 1 through 11 inclusive.
∙For IEEE 802.11a mode, the radio can use channels 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 149, 153, 157, 161,165.
∙For Atheros 5 GHz Turbo or Atheros Dynamic Turbo 5 GHz (IEEE 802.11a turbo), the radio can use a subset of the "a" mode channels: 40, 48, 56, 153, and 161.
∙For Atheros 2.4 GHz Turbo or Atheros Dynamic Turbo 2.4 GHz (IEEE 802.11g turbo), the radio can use only one of the "b/g" mode channels: 6.
6. Configure Basic and Supported Rate Sets
The syntax for working with basic and supported rates on the AP is as follows. In the examples below, the Command is either get, add, or remove and "wlan0" is used as the WirelessInterface.
Command
Feature or Setting | CLI Command |
Get current basic rates | get |
|
|
Add a basic rate set | add |
|
|
Remove a basic rate | remove |
|
|
Remove all basic rates | remove |
|
|
Get current supported rates | get |
|
|
Add supported rate | add |
|
|
Remove a supported rate | remove |
|
|
Remove all supported rates | remove |
