power-config

Profile Config Commands

Configures the power option mode. Use this command in the profile configuration mode to configure the transmit output power of access point radios. This command is also available in the device-config mode.

Single radio model access points always operate using a full power configuration. The power management configurations described in this section do not apply to single radio models. When an access point is powered on for the first time, the system determines the power budget available to the access point. If 802.3af is selected, the access point assumes 12.95 watts is available. If the mode is changed, the access point requires a reset to implement the change. If 802.3at is selected, the access point assumes 23 - 26 watts is available.

Supported in the following platforms:

  • Access Points — AP505i, AP510i/e, AP560i/h
  • Service Platforms — NX5500, NX7500, NX9500, NX9600, VX9000

Syntax

power-config [af-option|at-option|mode]
power-config [af-option|at-option] [range|throughput]
power-config mode [auto|3af]

Parameters

power-config [af-option|at-option] [range|throughput]
power-config Configures the power option mode
af-option [range|throughput] Configures the 802.3.af power mode option. The options are:
  • range – Configures the af power range mode. This mode provides higher power but fewer transmission (tx) chains.

Select range when range is preferred over performance for broadcast/multicast (group) traffic. The data rates used for range are the lowest defined basic rates.

  • throughput – Configures the af power throughput mode. This mode provides lower power but has more tx chains. This is the default setting.

Select throughput to transmit packets at the radio‘s highest defined basic rate (based on the radio‘s current basic rate settings). This option is optimal in environments where transmission range is secondary to broadcast/multicast transmission performance.
at-option [range|throughput] Configures the 802.3 at power mode option. The options are:
  • range – Configures the at power range mode. This mode provides higher power but fewer tx chains.

Select range when range is preferred over performance for broadcast/multicast (group) traffic. The data rates used for range are the lowest defined basic rates.

  • throughput – Configures the at power throughput mode. This mode provides lower power but has more tx chains. This is the default setting.

Select throughput to transmit packets at the radio‘s highest defined basic rate (based on the radio‘s current basic rate settings). This option is optimal in environments where transmission range is secondary to broadcast/multicast transmission performance.

 
power-config mode [auto|3af]
power-config Configures the power option mode
mode [auto|3af] Configures the AP power mode
  • 3af – Forces an AP to power up in the 802.3af power mode
  • auto – Sets the detection auto mode (default setting)

The automatic power-config mode enables an access point to automatically determine the best power configuration based on the available power budget.
