set radio-profile preamble-length

Changes the preamble length for which an 802.11b/g AP radio advertises support. This command does not apply to 802.11a.

Syntax set radio-profile name preamble-length {long short}

name	Radio profile name.
long	Advertises support for long preambles.
short	Advertises support for short preambles.

Defaults The default is short. Access Enabled.

Usage Changing the preamble length value affects only the support advertised by the radio. Regardless of the preamble length setting (short or long), an 802.11b/g radio accepts and can generate 802.11b/g frames with either short or long preambles.

If a client associated with an 802.11b/g radio uses long preambles for unicast traffic, the AP still accepts frames with short preambles but does not transmit frames with short preambles. This change also occurs if the access point overhears a beacon from an 802.11b/g radio on another access point that indicates the radio has clients that require long preambles.

You must disable all radios that use a radio profile before you can change parameters in the profile. Use the set

radio-profile mode command.

Examples The following command configures 802.11b/g radios that use the radio profile rp_long to advertise support for long preambles instead of short preambles:

WSS# set radio-profile rp_long preamble-length long

success: change accepted.
