radio-type (2G radio profile view)

Function

The radio-type command sets the radio type in a 2G radio profile.

The undo radio-type command restores the default radio type in a 2G radio profile.

By default, the radio type in a 2G radio profile is dot11ax.

Format

radio-type { dot11b | dot11g | dot11n | dot11ax }

undo radio-type

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Value
dot11b	Specifies the 802.11b radio type.	-
dot11g	Specifies the 802.11g radio type, which is backward compatible.	-
dot11n	Specifies the 802.11n radio type, which is backward compatible.	-
dot11ax	Specifies the 802.11ax radio type, which is backward compatible.	-

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

Usually, the default radio type is used and does not need to be modified. If the default radio mode cannot meet requirements or a fault needs to be located, configure the radio type as required.

Precautions

If a rate in the basic rate set or supported rate set, or the multicast rate is not supported by the 802.11b protocol, the radio type cannot be set to 80211b.

When the radio type is set to dot11b or dot11g, the function of denying access from non-HT STAs becomes invalid.

If WDS- or Mesh-enabled radios are configured not to support 802.11n/ac, the air interface backhaul performance will be degraded.

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, the rates of Beacon frames and multicast packets that take effect on the 2 GHz radio of the AP are fixed as 1 Mbps, and the values configured using the beacon-2g-rate beacon-2g-rate and multicast-rate multicast-rate commands do not take effect on the AP.

Example

# Set the radio type to dot11g in a 2G radio profile.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] wlan
[HUAWEI-wlan-view] radio-2g-profile name default
[HUAWEI-wlan-radio-2g-prof-default] radio-type dot11g
