COMMAND

DESCRIPTION

band {2.4G 5G} band-mode

Sets the radio band (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz) and band mode

{11n bg a}

for this profile. Band mode details:

 

For 2.4 GHz, 11n lets IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, and

 

IEEE 802.11n clients associate with the AP.

 

For 2.4 GHz, bg lets IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g

 

clients associate with the AP.

 

For 5 GHz, 11n lets IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11n

 

clients associate with the AP.

 

For 5 GHz, a lets only IEEE 802.11a clients associate

 

with the AP.

2g-channelwireless_channel_2g

Sets the broadcast band for this profile in the 2.4 GHz

 

frequency range. The default is 6.

5g-channelwireless_channel_5g

Sets the broadcast band for this profile in the 5 GHz

 

frequency range. The default is 36.

[no] disable-dfs-switch

Makes the DFS switch active or inactive. By default this is

 

inactive.

[no] dot11n-disable-coexistence

Fixes the channel bandwidth as 40 MHz. The no

 

command has the AP automatically choose 40 MHz if all

 

the clients support it or 20 MHz if some clients only

 

support 20 MHz.

 

 

[no] ctsrts <0..2347>

Sets or removes the RTS/CTS value for this profile.

 

Use RTS/CTS to reduce data collisions on the wireless

 

network if you have wireless clients that are associated

 

with the same AP but out of range of one another. When

 

enabled, a wireless client sends an RTS (Request To

 

Send) and then waits for a CTS (Clear To Send) before it

 

transmits. This stops wireless clients from transmitting

 

packets at the same time (and causing data collisions).

 

A wireless client sends an RTS for all packets larger than

 

the number (of bytes) that you enter here. Set the RTS/

 

CTS equal to or higher than the fragmentation threshold

 

to turn RTS/CTS off.

 

The default is 2347.

 

 

[no] frag <256..2346>

Sets or removes the fragmentation value for this profile.

 

The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation

 

boundary for directed messages. It is the maximum data

 

fragment size that can be sent.

 

The default is 2346.

 

 

dtim-period <1..255>

Sets the DTIM period for this profile.

 

Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) is the time

 

period after which broadcast and multicast packets are

 

transmitted to mobile clients in the Active Power

 

Management mode. A high DTIM value can cause clients

 

to lose connectivity with the network. This value can be

 

set from 1 to 255.

 

The default is 1.
