AP Commands

323

l Mandatory –– Valid 802.11 transmit rates that clients must support in order to

associate with the UNIVERGE WL Access Point

l Disabled –– Valid 802.11 transmit rates are disabled. UNIVERGE WL

Access Points do not transmit at the disabled rates

l Standard –– Valid 802.11 transmit rates that are not disabled and are not

mandatory

By default, the rate set is not enforced, meaning that a client can associate with

and transmit data to the UNIVERGE WL Access Point using a disabled data rate,

although the UNIVERGE WL Access Point does not transmit data back to the

client at the disabled rate.

You can use this command to enforce the data rates, which means that a

connecting client must transmit at one of the mandatory or standard rates in order

to associate with the UNIVERGE WL Access Point. When data rate enforcement

is enabled, clients transmitting at the disabled rates are not allowed to associate

with the UNIVERGE WL Access Point.

This command is useful if you want to completely prevent clients from

transmitting at disabled data rates. For example, you can disable slower data rates

so that clients transmitting at these rates do not consume bandwidth on the

channel at the expense of clients transmitting at faster rates.

Examples

The following command enables data rate enforcement for radio

profile rp1:

PROPMT# set radio-profile rp1 rate-enforcement mode enable

success: change accepted.
