(Optional) Configuring Smooth Channel Switching

Context

When a STA associated with an AP detects a channel switching on the AP, the STA needs to reassociate with the AP on the new channel. During this process, services of the STA are interrupted, degrading Internet experience of users. After smooth channel switching is configured, when the AP channel needs to be switched, the AP requests STAs to switch the channel after a fixed number of Beacon intervals so that the STAs and AP switch the channel simultaneously. Smooth channel switching can prevent STA reassociations and ensure rapid service recovery to improve Internet experience of users.

The channel switching announcement function must be supported by both the AP and STA.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run wlan

    The WLAN view is displayed.

  3. Run radio-2g-profile name profile-name

    Or run radio-5g-profile name profile-name

    The 2G or 5G radio profile view is displayed.

  4. Run undo channel-switch announcement disable

    The channel switch announcement function is enabled.

    By default, an AP sends an announcement when the channel is switched.

  5. Run channel-switch mode continue-transmitting

    The channel switch announcement mode is set to continue-transmitting.

    By default, data transmission from STAs continues on the current channel when the channel is switched.
