set service-profile idle-client-probing

Disables or reenables periodic keepalives from AP radios to clients on a service profile’s SSID. When idle-client probing

is enabled, the AP radio sends a unicast null-data frame to each client every 10 seconds. Normally, a client that is still

active sends an Ack in reply to the keepalive.

If a client does not send any data or respond to any keepalives before the user idle timeout expires, WSS Software

changes the client’s session to the Disassociated state.

Syntax

set service-profile name idle-client-probing {enable | disable}

Defaults

Idle-client probing is enabled by default.

Access

Enabled.

History

Introduced in WSS Software Version 4.1.

Usage

The length of time a client can remain idle (unresponsive to idle-client probes) is specified by the

user-idle-timeout command.

Examples

The following command disables idle-client keepalives on service profile sp1:

WSS# set service-profile sp1 idle-client-probing disable

success: change accepted.
