Chapter 7 Configuring Radio Settings
The default beacon period is 100, and the default DTIM is 2. Beginning in
privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the beacon period and
the DTIM:
1. Enter global configuration mode.
configure terminal
2. Enter interface configuration mode for the radio interface.
• The 2.4 GHz radio and the 802.11n 2.4 GHz radio is 0.
• The 5 GHz radio and the 802.11n 5 GHz radio is 1.

Configure RTS Threshold and
Retries The RTS threshold determines the packet size that the wireless access point issues
a request to send (RTS) before sending the packet. A low RTS Threshold setting
can be useful in areas where many client devices are associating with the wireless
access point, or in areas where the clients are far apart and can detect only the
wireless access point and not each other. You can enter a setting ranging from
0…2347 bytes.
Maximum RTS retries is the maximum number of times the wireless access point
issues an RTS before stopping the attempt to send the packet over the radio.
Enter a value from 1…128.
The default RTS threshold is 2347 for all access points and bridges, and the
default maximum RTS retries setting is 32. Beginning in privileged EXEC mode,
follow these steps to configure the RTS threshold and maximum RTS retries:
1. Enter global configuration mode.
configure terminal
2. Enter interface configuration mode for the radio interface.
• The 2.4 GHz radio and the 2.4 GHz 802.11n radio is 0.
• The 5 GHz radio and the 5 GHz 802.11n radio is 1.
