Configuring 802.11n Parameters
To specify the aggregation method used for 802.11n packets, follow these steps:

Step 4

To disable the network, enter this command:
a.
config {802.11a | 802.11b} disable network
To specify the aggregation method, enter this command:
b.
config {802.11a | 802.11b} 11nsupport a-mpdu tx priority {0-7 | all} {enable | disable}
Aggregation is the process of grouping packet data frames together rather than transmitting them
separately. Two aggregation methods are available: Aggregated MAC Protocol Data Unit
(A-MPDU) and Aggregated MAC Service Data Unit (A-MSDU). A-MPDU is performed in the
software whereas A-MSDU is performed in the hardware.
You can specify the aggregation method for various types of traffic from the access point to the
clients.

You can configure each priority level independently, or you can use the all parameter to configure
all of the priority levels at once. When you use the enable command, the traffic associated with that
priority level uses A-MPDU transmission. When you use the disable command, the traffic
associated with that priority level uses A-MSDU transmission. Configure the priority levels to match
the aggregation method used by the clients. By default, only priority level 0 is enabled.
To re-enable the network, enter this command:
c.
config {802.11a | 802.11b} enable network
