Chapter 7 Configuring Radio Settings

Configuring Radio Transmit Power

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to set the transmit power on your access point
radio:
Command
Step 1 configure terminal
Step 2
interface dot11radio 0

{ 1 | 5 | 20 | 30 | 50 | 100 | maximum }
Step 4 end
Step 5 copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
Use the no form of the power command to return the power setting to maximum, the default setting.

Limiting the Power Level for Associated Client Devices

You can also limit the power level on client devices that associate to the access point. When a client
device associates to the access point, the access point sends the maximum power level setting to the
client.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to specify a maximum allowed power setting on
all client devices that associate to the access point:
Command
Step 1 configure terminal
Step 2
interface dot11radio 0
Step 3
power client
{ 1 | 5 | 20 | 30 | 50 | 100 }
Step 4 end
Step 5 copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
Use the no form of the client power command to disable the maximum power level for associated clients.
Aironet extensions must be enabled to limit the power level on associated client devices. Aironet
