dot11bg basic-rate

Function

The dot11bg basic-rate command configures a basic rate set of the 802.11bg protocol in a 2G radio profile.

The undo dot11bg basic-rate command restores the default basic rate set of the 802.11bg protocol in a 2G radio profile.

By default, the basic rate set of the 802.11bg protocol includes rates 1 Mbps and 2 Mbps in a 2G radio profile.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

The rates specified in the basic rate set must be supported by both the AP and STA; otherwise, the STA cannot associate with the AP. For example, if you configure the basic rate set to contain rates 6 Mbps and 9 Mbps and deliver the configuration to an AP, only STAs supporting the two rates can associate with the AP. The AP and STA select a rate from the basic rate set or the supported rate set to transmit packets.

After you run this command to configure a basic rate set in a radio profile, bind the radio profile to an AP or AP group. If a STA associates with the AP in 802.11bg mode, the STA must support all rates specified by the basic rate set; otherwise, the STA cannot associate with the AP.

Precautions

This configuration applies only to STAs associated with an AP in 802.11bg mode but does not take effect on STAs associated with the AP in other modes.

The basic rate set and supported rate set cannot be empty simultaneously.

Example

# Configure the 802.11bg basic rate set to contain rates 6 Mbps and 9 Mbps in the 2G radio profile default.
