Configuring RTS Threshold and Retries
The RTS threshold determines the packet size at which the wireless device issues a request to send (RTS)
before sending the packet. A low RTS Threshold setting can be useful in areas where many client devices
are associating with the wireless device, or in areas where the clients are far apart and can detect only
the wireless device and not each other. You can enter a setting ranging from 0 to 2347 bytes.
Maximum RTS retries is the maximum number of times the wireless device issues an RTS before
stopping the attempt to send the packet over the radio. Enter a value from 1 to 128.
The default RTS threshold is 2312, and the default maximum RTS retries setting is 32. Beginning in
privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the RTS threshold and maximum RTS retries:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
interface dot11radio { 0 | 1 }
Step 3
rts threshold value
Step 4
rts retries value
Step 5
end
Step 6
copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
Use the no form of the command to reset the RTS settings to defaults.
Configuring 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 | 1 }
Step 3
packet retries value
OL-6415-04
Purpose
Set the beacon period. Enter a value in Kilomicroseconds.
Set the DTIM. Enter a value in Kilomicroseconds.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Enter interface configuration mode for the radio interface. The
2.4-GHz radio is radio 0, and the 5-GHz radio is radio 1.
Set the RTS threshold. Enter an RTS threshold from 0 to 2347.
Set the maximum RTS retries. Enter a setting from 1 to 128.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Enter interface configuration mode for the radio interface. The
2.4-GHz radio is radio 0, and the 5-GHz radio is radio 1.
Set the maximum data retries. Enter a setting from 1 to 128.
