Configures radio beacon parameters
A beacon is a packet broadcasted by adopted radios to keep the network synchronized. Included in
a beacon is information, such as the WLAN service area, the radio address, the broadcast
destination addresses, a time stamp, and indicators about traffic and delivery such as a Delivery
Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). Increase the DTIM/beacon settings (lengthening the time) to let
nodes sleep longer and preserve battery life. Decrease these settings (shortening the time) to
support streaming-multicast audio and video applications that are jitter sensitive.
Supported in the following platforms:
•
Access Points — Brocade Mobility 650 Access Point, Brocade Mobility 6511 Access Point,
Brocade Mobility 1220 Access Point, Brocade Mobility 71XX Access Point, Brocade
Mobility 1240 Access Point
Syntax:
beacon [dtim-period|period]
beacon dtim-period [<1-50>|bss]
beacon dtim-period [<1-50>|bss <1-16> <1-50>]
beacon period [50|100|200]
Parametersd
beacon dtim-period [<1-50>|bss <1-8> <1-50>]
Resets the radio antenna mode (the number of transmit and receive antennas) to its default
beacon
Configures radio beacon parameters
dtim-period
Configures the radio DTIM interval. A DTIM is a message that informs wireless clients about the presence of
buffered multicast or broadcast data. The message is generated within the periodic beacon at a frequency
specified by the DTIM interval.
<1-50>
Configures a single value to use on the radio. Specify a value between 1 and 50.
bss <1-16> <1-50>
Configures a separate DTIM for a Basic Service Set (BSS) on a radio
•
<1-16> – Sets the BSS number from 1 - 16
•
<1-50> – Sets the BSS DTIM from 1 - 50
