probe-response

interface-config-radio-instance

Configures transmission parameters for probe response frames sent by the access point in response to probe requests received from clients.

Supported in the following platforms:

Syntax

probe-response [ac-strict|rate|retry|rssi-threshold]
probe-response ac-strict


      
probe-response retry
probe-response rate [follow-probe-request|highest-basic|lowest-basic]
probe-response rssi-threshold <-128--40>

Parameters

probe-response ac-strict
probe-response ac-strict

Strictly ignores probe-requests received from clients that are not 802.11ac/VHT capable. Configure this parameter to disable the access point from sending probe-response frames to wireless clients that are not 802.11ac/VHT capable. When configured, the AP checks if the incoming probe-request is from a VHT-capable client or not, and strictly ignores the request if the client is non-VHT capable.

The IEEE 802.11ac is a wireless networking standard that provides VHT (very-high throughput) wireless service on the 5 GHz band.

Note: The 'assoc-response ac-strict' command is another way to enable your AP to ignore non-VHT enabled clients. You can issue one or both of the 'probe-response ac-strict' or assoc-response ac-strictcommands to prevent non-VHT capable client association. For information on probe-response option, see assoc-response.
probe-response retry
probe-response retry Enables retransmission of probe-response frames if no acknowledgment is received from the client. This option is enabled by default.
probe-response rate [follow-probe-request|highest-basic|lowest-basic]
probe-response rate Configures the rates used for transmission of probe response frames. The tx-rate options available for transmitting probe response frames are: follow-probe-request, highest-basic, lowest-basic.
follow-probe-request Transmits probe responses at the same rate as the received request (default setting)
highest-basic Uses the highest configured basic rate
lowest-basic Uses the lowest configured basic rate
probe-response rssi-threshold <-128--40>
probe-response rssi-threshold <-128--40> Ignores probe request from client if the received signal strength is less than the RSSI threshold specified here

<-128--40> – Specify a value from -128 - -40.
