The following CLI command sets the sensitivity level to automatic:
configure interface Dot11Radio <interface number>
sensitivity auto
The current sensitivity level can be monitored using:
show interface wifi-stats
The sensitivity could also be set manually to support local optimization by
an operator. The sensitivity level can be set from –101dBm to –77dBm.
The following CLI command sets a static sensitivity level:
configure interface Dot11Radio <interface number>
sensitivity <level number>
Setting the Radio Reception Level
The Radio can be configured to reject clients that are below a defined
signal level. By default, the Radio Reception Level is set to -103dBm. This
results with all clients being accepted, as -103dBm is higher than the
maximum sensitivity. The reception level can be set from –103dBm to
-50dBm. Setting the reception level can be done using the following CLI
command:
configure interface Dot11Radio <interface number>
reception-level <level number>
Access Radio WDS Configuration
The Access radio can be configured to support access and/or WDS
services. To use the WDS protocol or enable the mesh over the access
radio, the Access radio service must be set to support backhaul, or mixed
services. By default, the Access radio service is set to support both
services. To configure the services supported using the following CLI
command:
configure interface Dot11Radio <interface number>
service {access | backhaul | both}
Configuring Multiple SSIDs
The SSID is a unique identifier that wireless networking devices use to
establish and maintain wireless connectivity. Multiple access points on a
network or sub-network can use the same SSID. Configuring the same
SSID across multiple APs will enable the users to roam between them
seamlessly. SSID names are case sensitive and can contain up to 32
alphanumeric characters.
The WLP unit can support up to 16 SSIDs. Each radio interface must be
configured with a minimum of one SSID that is defined as a BSSID.
Each SSID has its unique privacy configuration and unique VLAN ID.
VLAN-ID 0 represents no VLAN tag.
