dot11bg supported-rate

Function

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

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

By default, the supported rate set of the 802.11bg protocol in a 2G radio profile includes rates 1 Mbps, 2 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, 6 Mbps, 9 Mbps, 11 Mbps, 12 Mbps, 18 Mbps, 24 Mbps, 36 Mbps, 48 Mbps, and 54 Mbps.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

The supported rate set contains rates supported by the AP except the basic rates. The AP and STA can transmit data at all rates specified by the supported rate set. The AP and STA select a rate from the basic rate set or the supported rate set to transmit packets.

When a STA supports rates specified in the basic rate set, the STA can associate with the AP regardless of whether the STA supports rates specified in the supported rate set. In this case, the AP and STA can only select a rate from the basic rate set to transmit packets. For example, assume that you configure the basic rate set to contain rates 6 Mbps and 9 Mbps and the supported rate set to contain rates 48 Mbps and 54 Mbps. After you deliver the configurations to an AP, the STA supporting 6 Mbps and 9 Mbps can associate with the AP, and select either of the two rates to transmit packets with the AP. However, if the STA supports 6 Mbps, 9 Mbps, and 54 Mbps, the STA and AP select any of the three rates to transmit packets after the STA associates with the AP.

After you run this command to configure a supported 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 AP and STA select a rate from the basic rate set or supported rate set to transmit packets.

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 supported rate set to contain rates 6 Mbps and 9 Mbps in the 2G radio profile default.
