Command Reference Guide
fragment-threshold <length>
Use the fragment-threshold command to set the packet length threshold. Packets larger than the value set
in this command will be fragmented when transmitted on the wireless link. Use the no form of this
command to return to the default value.
Syntax Description
<length>
Default Values
By default, the fragment threshold is set at 2346 bytes.
Command History
Release 15.1
Functional Notes
Fragment threshold can be set to a lower number to prevent retransmission of large packets, but the
overhead is increased. If the threshold is large, the overhead is relatively small but large packets will be
retransmitted, lowering efficiency.
Usage Examples
The following example sets the fragment threshold at 572 bytes on an 802.11bg wireless radio:
(config)#interface dot11ap 1/1 radio-type 802.11bg
(config-dot11ap 1/1-bg)#fragment-threshold 572
60000CRG0-35E
Specifies the maximum packet length allowed before fragmentation will
occur. Range is 256 to 2346 bytes.
