Configuring The Maximum Data Retries; Configuring The Fragmentation Threshold - Cisco M10-RM Software Manual

Configuring the Maximum Data Retries

Configuring the Maximum Data Retries
The maximum data retries setting determines the number of attempts the wireless device makes to send
a packet before giving up and dropping the packet.
The default setting is 32. Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the
maximum data retries:
Command
Step 1 configure terminal
Step 2
interface dot11radio { 0 | 1slot/port
}
Step 3 packet retries value
Step 4 end
Step 5
copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
Use the no form of the command to reset the setting to defaults.

Configuring the Fragmentation Threshold

The fragmentation threshold determines the size at which packets are fragmented (sent as several pieces
instead of as one block). Use a low setting in areas where communication is poor or where there is a great
deal of radio interference.
The default setting is 23382346 bytes. Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to
configure the fragmentation threshold:
Command
Step 1 configure terminal
Step 2 interface dot11radio { 0 | 1slot/port
}
Step 3
fragment-threshold value
Step 4
end
Step 5 copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
Use the no form of the command to reset the setting to defaults.
