non-unicast

interface-config-radio-instance

Configures support for forwarding of non-unicast (multicast and broadcast) frames on this radio

Supported in the following platforms:

Syntax

non-unicast [forwarding|queue|tx-rate]
non-unicast forwarding [follow-dtim|power-save-aware]
non-unicast queue [<1-200>|bss]
non-unicast queue [<1-200>|bss <1-16> <1-200>]
non-unicast tx-rate [bss <1-16>|dynamic-all|dynamic-basic|highest-basic|lowest-basic]
non-unicast tx-rate bss <1-16> [dynamic-all|dynamic-basic|highest-basic|lowest-basic]

Parameters

non-unicast forwarding [follow-dtim|power-save-aware]
non-unicast forwardingEnables non-unicast frame forwarding on this radio. Once enabled, select one of the available options to specify whether these frames should always follow DTIM, or only follow DTIM when using power save aware mode.
follow-dtimSpecifies frames always wait for the DTIM interval to time out. The DTIM interval is configured using the beacon command. This is the default setting.
power-save-awareEnables immediate forwarding of frames only if all associated wireless clients are in the power save mode
non-unicast queue [<1-200>|bss <1-16> <1-200>]
non-unicast queueEnables non-unicast frame forwarding on this radio. Once enabled, specify the number of broadcast packets queued per BSS on this radio. This option is enabled by default.

This command also enables you to override the default on a specific BSS.

<1-200>Specify a number from 1 - 200. This value applies to all BSSs. The default is 50 frames per BSS.
bss <1-16> <1-200>Overrides the default on a specified BSS
  • <1-16> – Select the BSS number from 1 - 16.
    • <1-200> – Specify the number of broadcast packets queued for the selected BSS from 1 - 200.
non-unicast tx-rate [bss <1-16>|dynamic-all|dynamic-basic|highest-basic|lowest-basic]
non-unicast tx-rateEnables non-unicast frame forwarding on this radio. Once enabled, use one of the available options to configure the rate at which these frames are transmitted.
bss <1-16>Overrides the default on a specified BSS
  • <1-16> – Select the BSS number from 1 - 16. The transmit rate selected is applied only to the BSS specified here. The tx-rate options are: dynamic-all, dynamic-basic, highest-basic, lowest-basic.
dynamic-allDynamically selects a rate from all supported rates based on current traffic conditions
dynamic-basicDynamically selects a rate from all supported basic rates based on current traffic conditions
highest-basicUses the highest configured basic rate. This is the default setting.
lowest-basicUses the lowest configured basic rate
