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