Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

To ensure synchronization of Beacon frames in scenarios with densely deployed RUs, you can run the beacon disable command to disable some RUs from sending Beacon frames. This configuration is recommended on a network enabled with agile distributed SFN roaming. In other scenarios, the default configuration is recommended.

Precautions

Disabling RUs from sending Beacon frames may cause STAs to go offline due to a failure to receive Beacon frames.
