Disabling and Enabling Aironet Extensions Chapter 6 Configuring Radio Settings Disabling and Enabling Aironet Extensions By default, the bridge uses Cisco Aironet 802.11 extensions to improve communication with other 1400 series bridges. You cannot disable Aironet extensions on the bridge. Configuring the Ethernet Encapsulation Transformation Method When the bridge receives data packets that are not 802.3 packets, the bridge must format the packets to 802.3 using an encapsulation transformation method. These are the two transformation methods: • 802.1H • RFC1042-This is the default setting. Use this setting to ensure interoperability with non-Cisco Aironet wireless equipment. • Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the encapsulation transformation method: Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Command Purpose configure terminal Enter global configuration mode. interface dot11radio { 0 | 1 } Enter interface configuration mode for the radio interface. The 2.4-GHz radio is radio 0, and the 5-GHz radio is radio 1. payload-encapsulation snap | dot1h Set the encapsulation transformation method to RFC1042 (snap) or 802.1h (dot1h). end Return to privileged EXEC mode. copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file. Configuring the Beacon Period The beacon period is the amount of time between bridge beacons in Kilomicroseconds. One Kµsec equals 1,024 microseconds. The default beacon period is 100. Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the beacon period: Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Command Purpose configure terminal Enter global configuration mode. interface dot11radio 0 Enter interface configuration mode for the radio interface. beacon period value Set the beacon period. Enter a value in Kilomicroseconds. Note The bridge does not support the dtim option in the beacon period command. end Return to privileged EXEC mode. copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
