Configuring Radio Transmit Power
Use the no form of the speed command to disable data rates. When you use the no form of the command,
all data rates are disabled except the rates you name in the command. This example shows how to disable
data rate 1.0:
ap1200# configure terminal
ap1200(config)# interface dot11radio 0
ap1200(config-if)# no speed basic-2.0 basic-5.5 basic-11.0
ap1200(config-if)# end
Data rate 1 is disabled, and the rest of the rates are set to basic.
This example shows how to set up the access point for 11-Mbps service only:
ap1200# configure terminal
ap1200(config)# interface dot11radio 0
ap1200(config-if)# no speed basic-11.0
ap1200(config-if)# end
Data rate 11 is set to basic, and the rest of the data rates are set to disabled.
