Except for the Zone and the final lines of output (beginning with
StaId, which displays the STA’s MAC address), each of the
settings shown above can be configured with
add sta:
# add sta -radio radio1
RadioName[radio1] (radio1 name of radio interface): radio1
StaName (string for identity): < NewStation>
Ssid (string(32 chars max)): NewStationSSID
Bssid (MAC address of AP):

RateMode (auto|fixed to set bit-rate adaptation mode):
MaxRate (1|2|5.5|11|6|9|12|18|24|36|48|54 to set maximum transmission rate in Mbps):
MinRate (1|2|5.5|11|6|9|12|18|24|36|48|54 to set minimum transmission rate in Mbps):
BgScan (enable|disable to set background scan support):
BgScanIdlePeriod (100..60000 to set background scan idle period in milliseconds):
BgScanInterval (15..86400 to set background scan interval in seconds):
WMM (enable|disable to set Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) support):
FragThreshold (off|256..2345 to set maximum fragment size):
RtsThreshold (off|1..2345 to set minimum packet size for RTS/CTS handshake):

PtkRekeyInterval (pairwise transient key (PTK) rekey interval in seconds): 600
To create a STA Interface, specify a StaName of up to 254
alphanumeric characters to identify the interface in the Mesh
Point configuration. You cannot edit the
StaName after the STA
Interface has been created.
Certain interface names and prefixes, such as
aux and sta_
for examples, are reserved for internal use. If the
StaName you
enter is reserved, the Mesh Point CLI will return an error
requiring you to modify your entry.
Specify the network
SSID to which the ES210 Mesh Point will
associate. To determine which networks are available, you can
use
show scan (refer to Section 3.4.11.11). To disable roaming
among multiple APs with the same SSID, in
Bssid, specify the
MAC address of a single wireless AP to which the STA
Interface is permitted to associate.
3.4.11.2 STA State
AdminState determines whether the interface is disabled or
enabled. A newly added STA is
enabled by default.
3.4.11.3 STA Unicast Transmission Rate Settings
When a STA Interface is configured to use a
RateMode setting
of
auto (the default), the interface dynamically adjusts the bit
rate at which it transmits unicast data frames—throttling
