Command Reference Guide
rts threshold <length>
Use the rts threshold command to set the threshold for use of request to send (RTS) frames. RTS is used
to gain access to the radio frequency (RF) medium when long frames need to be transmitted. The RTS
threshold defines the minimum long frame length that will require RTS/clear to send (CTS) prior to
transmission. Any frame that matches or is longer than the length specified in the rts threshold command
must be preceded by a RTS/CTS on the RF medium. Use the no form of this command to return to the
default value.
Syntax Description
<length>
Default Values
By default, the RTS threshold is 2346 bytes.
Command History
Release 15.1
Functional Notes
Generally, it is best to set the RTS threshold as high as possible. However, the threshold may need to be
set lower if network throughput is sluggish or there are high numbers of frame retransmissions.
Usage Examples
The following example sets the RTS threshold to 1024 bytes on an 802.11bg wireless radio:
(config)#interface dot11ap 1/1 radio-type 802.11bg
(config-dot11ap 1/1-bg)#rts threshold 1024
60000CRG0-35E
Specifies the length of the RTS threshold in bytes. Range is 256 to
2346 bytes.
