Table 62 HP ProCurve 420 Fields and Default Values
Setting Default Description
Slot Time Auto Short-slot-time mechanism, if used on a pure 802.11g deployment, improves
WLAN throughput by reducing wait time for transmitter to assure clear channel
assessment.
Multicast Data Rate 5.5Mbps Sets the maximum data rate of the multicast data packets.
Rogue Scanning Enabled If enabled the 420 APs in the group will scan for rogues.
Rogue Scanning Interval (15-
10080 min)

Rogue Scanning Duration (50-
1000 msec)
350 Specifies the amount of time, in milliseconds, the AP should spend performing
the rogue scan. If the duration is set too high users may start to experience
connectivity issues.
