WLAN MDA radio configuration commands

wlan-radio

Syntax

wlan-radio

Context

config>card>mda

Description

This command enables the context to configure WLAN radio commands.

Default

n/a

bandwidth

Syntax

bandwidth {20MHz | 40MHz}

Context

config>card>mda>wlan-radio

Description

This command sets the channel bandwidth of the WLAN radio.

Default

20MHz

Parameters

20MHz

sets the channel bandwidth to 20 MHz

40MHz

sets the channel bandwidth to 40 MHz

beacon-interval

Syntax

beacon-interval milliseconds

Context

config>card>mda>wlan-radio

Description

This command sets the beacon interval for the WLAN radio. The interval is the frequency with which an AP broadcasts a packet in order to synchronize with the wireless network.

Default

200

Parameters

milliseconds

the interval at which an AP broadcasts a packet that is used to synchronize with the wireless network

Values

75 to 999

channel

Syntax

channel {auto | channel-id}

Context

config>card>mda>wlan-radio

Description

This command sets the channel of the WLAN radio. The channel-id values that are available for this command depend on the configured country and frequency-band. See the Appendix for the available values.

When the WLAN radio channel is set to auto, the node scans the frequency bands supported by the configured county for the most appropriate channel.

Default

auto

Parameters

auto

specifies that the WLAN radio selects the most appropriate channel

channel-id

see the Appendix

country

Syntax

[no] country country-string

Context

config>card>mda>wlan-radio

Description

This command configures the country name for the WLAN radio. Because the values configured for the channel and bandwidth commands depend on the country configuration, the country name must be configured before any other MDA parameters. The country name must be configured in order to enable the radio; otherwise, executing a no shutdown command returns an error.

The no form of the command removes the specified country from the WLAN radio and resets the MDA frequency-band, channel, and bandwidth commands to their default values. The no form can only be executed when the WLAN radio is shut down.

Default

n/a

Parameters

country-string

the name of the country

Values

australia, belgium, bolivia, brazil, canada, chile, colombia, france, germany, india, iran, italy, japan, malaysia, mexico, new-zealand, peru, russia, singapore, south-africa, usa, venezuela

frequency-band

Syntax

frequency-band {2400 | 5000}

Context

config>card>mda>wlan-radio

Description

This command sets the frequency band for the WLAN radio.

Default

2400

Parameters

2400

sets the frequency band to 2.4 GHz

5000

sets the frequency band to 5.0 GHz

shutdown

Syntax

[no] shutdown

Context

config>card>mda

config>card>mda>wlan-radio

Description

In the config>card>mda>wlan-radio context, this command shuts down the WLAN radio. When the radio is turned off, a configured AP or station becomes operationally down. The no form of this command enables the WLAN radio, and any configured WLAN ports that are operationally down can begin operating.

In the config>card>mda context, this command shuts down the WLAN MDA and puts the WLAN radio into reset mode. Any WLAN ports configured under the MDA become operationally down. The no form of this command brings the WLAN radio out of reset.

Default

shutdown
