Disabling and Enabling Short
Radio Preambles The radio preamble (sometimes called a header) is a section of data at the head of
a packet that contains information that the wireless access point and client
devices need when sending and receiving packets. You can set the radio preamble
to long or short:
• Short
A short preamble improves throughput performance. Cisco Aironet
Wireless LAN Client Adapters support short preambles. Early models of
Cisco Aironet's Wireless LAN Adapter (PC4800 and PC4800A) require
long preambles.
• Long
A long preamble verifies compatibility between the wireless access point
and all early models of Cisco Aironet Wireless LAN Adapters (PC4800
and PC4800A). If these client devices don’t associate to the wireless access
points, you can use short preambles.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to disable short radio
preambles:
1. Enter global configuration mode.
configure terminal
2. Enter interface configuration mode for the 2.4 GHz radio interface.
interface dot11radio { 0 }
3. Disable short preambles and enable long preambles.
no preamble-short
4. Return to privileged EXEC mode.

TIP You cannot configure short or long radio preambles on the 5 GHz radio.
