Parameter Description
High-throughput
radio profile
A high-throughput profile manages 40 MHz tolerance settings, and controls whether
or not APs using this profile will advertise intolerance of 40 MHz operation. (This
option is disabled by default, allowing 40 MHz operation.)
A high-throughput profile also determines whether an AP radio using the profile will
stop using the 40 MHz channels surrounding APs or stations advertise 40 MHz
intolerance. This option is enabled by default. For details on referencing a high-
throughput radio profile, see Assigning a High-throughput Profile on page 515.
The high-throughput radio profile associated with this 802.11a or 802.11g radio
profile appears beneath the 802.11a/802.11g radio profile name in the profiles list.
To change the high-throughput radio profile associated with an 802.11a or 802.11g
