INTERFACE
DOT11RADIO
Set the layer-3 MTU of this radio interface.
Reset the MTU to the default value
Setting of radio MTU is not
recommended and should be done with
extreme caution.
A note regarding CTS protection:
IEEE 802.11g uses CTS frames to allow IEEE 802.11b clients notice frames sent at
higher rates. This is useful in mixed mode networks consisting of both 802.11b and
802.11g stations. It is disabled automatically if there are no 802.11b stations associated
to the AP. This behavior can be changed to enable CTS protection on IEEE 802.11g AP
only, if there are IEEE 802.11b stations on the same channel using another AP. In
addition, disabling this even when IEEE 802.11b stations are present can improve
performance, if most traffic is between IEEE 802.11g devices.
Operation-mode specific settings
The following table outlines settings that only take affect in backhaul operation mode:

DOT11RADIO
Configure a new or existing manual WDS
interface on this radio; this command is
mutually exclusive with the
wds auto
command below

;
Remove an existing manual WDS
3
This setting will enable CTS protection when there are both 802.11g and 802.11b clients
associated on one of the BSSs of the current radio or when Overlapping Legacy BSS Condition
(OLBC) is detected
4
This setting will enable CTS protection when there are both 802.11g and 802.11b clients using
the current radio, but not when OLBC is detected
