Enter the config 802.11 channel command to set automatic channel selection by Radio Resource Management (RRM) or manually set the channel for the 802.11 radio, and enter the config 802.11 enable command to enable the 802.11 network.

Note

See the Channels and Maximum Power Settings for Cisco Aironet Lightweight Access Points document for the channels supported by your access point. The power levels and available channels are defined by the country code setting and are regulated on a country-by-country basis.

Examples

The following example shows how to have RRM automatically configure the 802.11a channels for automatic channel configuration based on the availability and interference:

(Cisco Controller) >config 802.11a channel global auto

The following example shows how to configure the 802.11b channels one time based on the availability and interference:

Command History


Release	Modification
7.6	This command was introduced in a release earlier than Release 7.6.
8.3	This command was enhanced in this release with the inclusion of 160 MHz and best channel bandwidth modes.

Usage Guidelines

This parameter can be configured only if the primary channel is statically assigned.

Caution

We recommend that you do not configure 40-MHz channels in the 2.4-GHz radio band because severe co-channel interference can occur.

Statically configuring an access point’s radio for 20-MHz or 40-MHz mode overrides the globally configured DCA channel width setting (configured by using the config advanced 802.11 channel dca chan-width command). If you change the static configuration back to global on the access point radio, the global DCA configuration overrides the channel width configuration that the access point was previously using.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure the channel width for access point AP01 on an 802.11 network using 40-MHz channels:


(Cisco Controller) >config 802.11a chan_width AP01 40

Usage Guidelines

When you enable Beamforming on the network, it is automatically enabled for all the radios applicable to that network type.

Follow these guidelines for using Beamforming:

Beamforming is supported only for legacy orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) data rates (6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 54 mbps).

Note

Beamforming is not supported for complementary-code keying (CCK) data rates (1, 2, 5.5, and 11 Mbps).

Beamforming is supported only on access points that support 802.11n (AP1250 and AP1140).
Two or more antennas must be enabled for transmission.
All three antennas must be enabled for reception.
OFDM rates must be enabled.

If the antenna configuration restricts operation to a single transmit antenna, or if OFDM rates are disabled, Beamforming is not used.

config 802.11 { a|b}cac video cac-method { static |load-based}

Syntax Description


a	Specifies the 802.11a network.
b	Specifies the 802.11b/g network.
static	Enables the static CAC method for video applications on the 802.11a or 802.11b/g network. Static or bandwidth-based CAC enables the client to specify how much bandwidth or shared medium time is required to accept a new video request and in turn enables the access point to determine whether it is capable of accommodating the request.
load-based	Enables the load-based CAC method for video applications on the 802.11a or 802.11b/g network. Load-based or dynamic CAC incorporates a measurement scheme that takes into account the bandwidth consumed by all traffic types from itself, from co-channel access points, and by collocated channel interference. Load-based CAC also covers the additional bandwidth consumption results from PHY and channel impairment. The access point admits a new call only if the channel has enough unused bandwidth to support that call. Load-based CAC is not supported if SIP-CAC is enabled.

Command Default

Static.

Usage Guidelines

CAC commands for video applications on the 802.11a or 802.11b/g network require that the WLAN you are planning to modify is configured for the Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) protocol and the quality of service (QoS) level be set to Gold.

Before you can configure CAC parameters on a network, you must complete the following prerequisites:

Disable all WLANs with WMM enabled by entering the config wlan disable wlan_id command.
Disable the radio network you want to configure by entering the config 802.11{a | b} disable network command.
Save the new configuration by entering the save config command.

config 802.11 cac video load-based

To enable or disable load-based Call Admission Control (CAC) for video applications on the 802.11a or 802.11b/g network, use the config 802.11 cac video load-based command.

config 802.11 { a|b}cac video load-based { enable |disable}

Syntax Description


a	Specifies the 802.11a network.
b	Specifies the 802.11b/g network.
enable	Enables load-based CAC for video applications on the 802.11a or 802.11b/g network. Load-based or dynamic CAC incorporates a measurement scheme that takes into account the bandwidth consumed by all traffic types from itself, from co-channel access points, and by collocated channel interference. Load-based CAC also covers the additional bandwidth consumption results from PHY and channel impairment. The access point admits a new call only if the channel has enough unused bandwidth to support that call.
disable	Disables load-based CAC method for video applications on the 802.11a or 802.11b/g network.

Command Default

Disabled.

Usage Guidelines

CAC commands for video applications on the 802.11a or 802.11b/g network require that the WLAN you are planning to modify is configured for the Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) protocol and the quality of service (QoS) level be set to Gold.

Before you can configure CAC parameters on a network, you must complete the following prerequisites:

Disable all WLANs with WMM enabled by entering the config wlan disable wlan_id command.
Disable the radio network you want to configure by entering the config 802.11{a | b} disable network command.
Save the new configuration by entering the save config command.
Enable voice or video CAC for the network you want to configure by entering the  config 802.11{a | b} cac voice acm enable or config 802.11{a | b} cac video acm enable command.

Video CAC consists of two parts: Unicast Video-CAC and MC2UC CAC. If you need only Unicast Video-CAC, you must configure only static mode. If you need only MC2UC CAC, you must configure Static or Load-based CAC. Load-based CAC is not supported if SIP-CAC is enabled.

Note

Load-based CAC is not supported if SIP-CAC is enabled.

b

Specifies the 802.11b/g network.

default

Restores Layer 2 client roaming RF parameters to default values.

custom

Configures custom Layer 2 client roaming RF parameters.

min_rssi

Minimum received signal strength indicator (RSSI) that is required for the client to associate to the access point. If the client’s average received signal power dips below this threshold, reliable communication is usually impossible. Clients must already have found and roamed to another access point with a stronger signal before the minimum RSSI value is reached. The valid range is –80 to –90 dBm, and the default value is –85 dBm.

roam_hyst

How much greater the signal strength of a neighboring access point must be in order for the client to roam to it. This parameter is intended to reduce the amount of roaming between access points if the client is physically located on or near the border between the two access points. The valid range is 2 to 4 dB, and the default value is 2 dB.

scan_thresh

Minimum RSSI that is allowed before the client should roam to a better access point. When the RSSI drops below the specified value, the client must be able to roam to a better access point within the specified transition time. This parameter also provides a power-save method to minimize the time that the client spends in active or passive scanning. For example, the client can scan slowly when the RSSI is above the threshold and scan more rapidly when the RSSI is below the threshold. The valid range is –70 to –77 dBm, and the default value is –72 dBm.

trans_time

Maximum time allowed for the client to detect a suitable neighboring access point to roam to and to complete the roam, whenever the RSSI from the client’s associated access point is below the scan threshold. The valid range is 1 to 10 seconds, and the default value is 5 seconds.

Note

For high-speed client roaming applications in outdoor mesh environments, we recommend that you set the transition time to 1 second.

Command Default

The default minimum RSSI is -85 dBm. The default signal strength of a neighboring access point is 2 dB. The default scan threshold value is -72 dBm. The default time allowed for the client to detect a suitable neighboring access point to roam to and to complete the roam is 5 seconds.

Usage Guidelines

For high-speed client roaming applications in outdoor mesh environments, we recommend that you set the trans_time to 1 second.

supported	Specifies to allow any associated client that supports the data rate to use the network.
`rate`	Rate value of 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, or 54 Mbps.

Command Default

None

Usage Guidelines

The data rates set with this command are negotiated between the client and the Cisco wireless LAN controller. If the data rate is set to mandatory , the client must support it in order to use the network. If a data rate is set as supported by the Cisco wireless LAN controller, any associated client that also supports that rate may communicate with the Cisco lightweight access point using that rate. It is not required that a client is able to use all the rates marked supported in order to associate.
