Command Usage

The Delivery Traffic Indication Map (DTIM) packet interval value indicates how often the MAC layer forwards broadcast/multicast traffic. This parameter is necessary to wake up remote bridges that are using Power Save mode.

The DTIM is the interval between two synchronous frames with broadcast/multicast information. The default value of 2 indicates that the wireless bridge will save all broadcast/ multicast frames for the Basic Service Set (BSS) and forward them after every second beacon.

Using smaller DTIM intervals delivers broadcast/multicast frames in a more timely manner, causing remote bridges in Power Save mode to wake up more often and drain power faster. Using higher DTIM values reduces the power used by remote bridges in Power Save mode, but delays the transmission of broadcast/multicast frames.

Example

AP(if-wireless a)#dtim-period 100

AP(if-wireless a)#

fragmentation-length

This command configures the minimum packet size that can be fragmented when passing through the wireless bridge.

Syntax

fragmentation-length <length>

length - Minimum packet size for which fragmentation is allowed. (Range: 256-2346 bytes)
