306AP Commands

Syntax set radio-profile name rate-enforcement {enable disable}

name	Radio profile name.
enable	Enables data rate enforcement for the radios in the radio
	profile.
disable	Disables data rate enforcement for the radios in the radio
	profile.

Defaults Data rate enforcement is disabled by default. Access Enabled.

History Introduced in WSS Software Version 6.0.

Usage Each type of radio (802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g) providing service to an SSID has a set of radio rates allowed for use when sending beacons, multicast frames, and unicast data. You can configure the rate set for each type of radio and specify rates in three categories:

•Mandatory . Valid 802.11 transmit rates that clients must support in order to associate with the AP

•Disabled . Valid 802.11 transmit rates are disabled. APs do not transmit at the disabled rates

•Standard . Valid 802.11 transmit rates that are not disabled and are not mandatory

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

You can use this command 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 AP. When data rate enforcement is enabled, clients transmitting at the disabled rates are not allowed to associate with the AP.

This command is useful if you want to completely prevent clients from transmitting at disabled data rates. For example, you can disable slower data rates so that clients transmitting at these rates do not consume bandwidth on the channel at the expense of clients transmitting at faster rates.

Examples The following command enables data rate enforcement for radio profile rp1:

WSS# set radio-profile rp1 rate-enforcement mode enable success: change accepted.

set radio-profile rfid-mode

Enables AP radios managed by a radio profile to function as location receivers in an AeroScout Visibility System. An AeroScout Visibility System allows system administrators to track mobile assets using RFID tags.

When you enable RFID mode on a radio profile, radios in the profile can receive and process signals trans- mitted by RFID tags and relay them with related information to the AeroScout Engine. If the floor plan is modeled in WLAN Management Software, you also can use WLAN Management Software to display the locations of assets.
