configure rf-profile rts-threshold
ExtremeWare Software 7.3.0 Command Reference Guide 2001
configure rf-profile rts-threshold
configure rf-profile <name> rts-threshold <value>
Description
Specifies the request-to-send (RTS) threshold in bytes.
Syntax Description
Default
2330 bytes.
Usage Guidelines
Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications are recommended. If a network
packet is smaller than the preset RTS threshold size, the RTS and clear-to-send (CTS) mechanism is not
enabled. The wireless port sends RTS frames to a particular receiving station and negotiates the sending
of a data frame. After receiving an RTS, the wireless station responds with a CTS frame to acknowledge
the right to begin transmission.
Examples
The following command sets the RTS threshold to the default setting:
configure rf-profile rfprof1 rts-threshold 2330
