fragmentation-length

This command configures the minimum packet size that can be fragmented
when passing through the access point.
Syntax
fragmentation-length <length>
length - Minimum packet size for which fragmentation is allowed.
(Range: 256-2346 bytes)
Default Setting
2346
Command Mode
Interface Configuration (Wireless)
Command Usage
• If the packet size is smaller than the preset fragment size, the packet
will not be fragmented.
• Fragmentation of the PDUs (Package Data Unit) can increase the
reliability of transmissions because it increases the probability of a
successful transmission due to smaller frame size. If there is signifi­
cant interference present, or collisions due to high network utiliza­
tion, try setting the fragment size to send smaller fragments. This will
speed up the retransmission of smaller frames. However, it is more
efficient to set the fragment size larger if very little or no interference
is present because it requires overhead to send multiple frames.
Example
HP420(if-wireless g)#fragmentation-length 512
