set radio-profile frag-threshold

Changes the fragmentation threshold for the AP radios in a radio profile. The fragmentation threshold is the

threshold at which the long-retry-count is applicable instead of the short-retry-count.

The long-retry-count specifies the number of times a radio can send a unicast frame that is equal to or longer

than the frag-threshold without receiving an acknowledgment.

The short-retry-count specifies the number of times a radio can send a unicast frame that is shorter than the

frag-threshold without receiving an acknowledgment.

Syntax

set radio-profile name frag-threshold threshold

Defaults

The default fragmentation threshold for AP radios is 2346 bytes.

Access

Enabled.

Usage

You must disable all radios that are using a radio profile before you can change parameters

in the profile. Use the set radio-profile mode command

The frag-threshold does not specify the maximum length a frame is allowed to be without being broken into

multiple frames before transmission. Nortel APs do not support fragmentation upon transmission, only upon

reception.

The frag-threshold does not change the RTS threshold, which specifies the maximum length a frame can be

before the radio uses the RTS/CTS method to send the frame. To change the RTS threshold, use the set radio-

profile rts-threshold command instead.

Examples

The following command changes the fragmentation threshold for radio profile rp1 to

1500 bytes:

WSS# set radio-profile rp1 frag-threshold 1500

success: change accepted.
