Command Reference 63
dtim_period 0-255 Specifies the number of beacon intervals that elapse
before broadcast frames are sent. Value must be
between 0 and 255. Setting the DTIM period to a higher
value decreases the frequency of broadcasts sent by the
RS4000. If power save is enabled on clients that are
connected to the RS4000, clients “wake up” less if
fewer broadcasts are sent, which conserves battery life
for the clients. The default beacon DTIM period is 1.
publish_essid {enable | disable} Specifies whether the RS4000 broadcasts the ESSID
(enabled) or not (disabled)
. By default, an ESSID is
broadcast. When an ESSID is broadcast, it is included
in the beacon that gets advertised. Clients using passive
scanning listen for beacons transmitted by access
points. If broadcasting an ESSID is disabled, clients
listening for beacons cannot receive ESSID
information.
beacon_interval {25-500} Specifies the interval in milliseconds between beacon
broadcasts. Setting the beacon interval to a higher value
decreases the frequency of unicasts and broadcasts sent
by the RS4000. If the power-save feature is enabled on
clients that are connected to the RS4000, clients “wake
up” less if fewer unicasts and broadcasts are sent, which
conserves the battery life for the clients. The default
interval is 100.
security_mode {none | 8021x |
wep}
Specifies the mode that will be used to enforce WLAN
security. The default setting is none.
If 8021x is selected, the 802.1X protocol is used and the
set radius command must also be invoked to set the
RADIUS server configuration parameters.
If wep is selected, the following commands must also
be used to set the WEP parameters:
z set wif if key_len
z set wif if key_index
z set wif if wep_auth_mode
z set wif if key[1-4]
reauth_period 0, 3600-65535 Period in seconds after which 802.1X authenticated
wireless clients will be reauthenticated. By default, the
period is set to 3600 seconds. A value of 0 means
reauthentication is disabled.
