beacon-2g-rate

Function

The beacon-2g-rate command sets the transmit rate of 2.4 GHz Beacon frames.

The undo beacon-2g-rate command restores the default transmit rate of 2.4 GHz Beacon frames.

By default, the transmit rate of 2.4 GHz Beacon frames is 1 Mbit/s.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

In high-density wireless scenarios, too many Beacon frames occupy a large number of wireless resources. To reduce wireless resource occupation of Beacon frames and improve channel usage efficiency, you can run the beacon-2g-rate command to set a large transmit rate for 2.4 GHz Beacon frames.

Precautions

Modifying the transmit rate of Beacon frames will affect the association experience of STAs. Exercise caution when running the command.

The 802.11b protocol supports only 1 Mbit/s, 2 Mbit/s, 5.5 Mbit/s, and 11 Mbit/s. If you set the transmit rate of Beacon frames to a rate not supported by the 802.11b protocol, STAs supporting only 802.11b cannot connect to the wireless network.

If you run the radio-type dot11b command in the 2G radio profile view to set the radio type to dot11b, and the 2G radio profile is applied to an AP, beacon-2g-rate that takes effect on the 2 GHz radio of the AP is fixed as 1 Mbit/s, and beacon-2g-rate configured in the SSID profile view does not take effect on the AP.

Example

# Set the transmit rate of 2.4 GHz Beacon frames to 18 Mbit/s in the SSID profile ssid1.
