Chapter 6 Configuring Radio Settings
Configuring Radio Transmit Power
Use the no form of the power command to return the power setting to maximum, the default setting.
Limiting the Power Level for Associated Client Devices
You can also limit the power level on client devices that associate to the access point. When a client
device associates to the access point, the access point sends the maximum power level setting to the
client.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to specify a maximum allowed power setting on
all client devices that associate to the access point:
Step 4
power local
These options are available for the
802.11g, 2.4-GHz radio:
power local cck settings:
{ 1 | 5 | 10 | 20 | 30 | 50 | 100 |
maximum }
power local ofdm settings:
{ 1 | 5 | 10 | 20 | 30 | maximum }
Set the transmit power for the 802.11g, 2.4-GHz radio to one of
the power levels allowed in your regulatory domain. All
settings are in mW.
On the 2.4-GHz, 802.11g radio, you can set Orthogonal
Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) power levels and
Complementary Code Keying (CCK) power levels. CCK
modulation is supported by 802.11b and 802.11g devices.
OFDM modulation is supported by 802.11g and 802.11a
devices.
Note The settings allowed in your regulatory domain might
differ from the settings listed here.
Note The 802.11g radio transmits at up to 100 mW for the 1,
2, 5.5, and 11Mbps data rates. However, for the 6, 9, 12,
18, 24, 36, 48, and 54Mbps data rates, the maximum
transmit power for the 802.11g radio is 30 mW.
Step 5
