data-rates (meshpoint-config)

Configures individual data rates for the 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz frequency bands. In Mesh network, a mesh point is a virtual mesh networking instance on a device, similar to a WLAN AP. On each device, up to 4 mesh points can be created and 2 can be created per radio. Each mesh point radio can have carefully administrated radio rates specific to the 2.4 or 5 GHz band. Use this command to configure these radio rates.
Note

Note

Ensure that the basic data rates configured on a meshpoint‘s root and non-root access points is the same.

Supported on the following platforms:

Parameters

data-rates 2.4GHz [b-only|bg|bgn|default|g-only|gn]
data-rates 2.4GHz Configures preset data rates for the 2.4 GHz frequency.
b-only Configures data rate for the meshpoint using 802.11b only rates.
bg Configures data rate for the meshpoint using 802.11b and 802.11g rates.
default Configures data rate for the meshpoint at a pre-configured default rate for this frequency.
g-only Configures data rate for the meshpoint using 802.11g only rates.
gn Configures data rate for the meshpoint using 802.11g and 802.11n rates.

mcs0-15|mcs0-7|mcs8-15|basic-mcs0-7)
data-rates 2.4GHz Configures the preset data rates for the 2.4 GHz frequency

Define both minimum Basic and optimal Supported rates as required for the 802.11b rates, 802.11g rates and 802.11n rates supported by the 2.4 GHz band. These are the rates wireless client traffic is supported within this mesh point.

These are the rates wireless client traffic is supported within this mesh point. If supporting 802.11n, select a supported MCS index. Set a Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) in respect to the radio's channel width and guard interval. A MCS defines (based on RF channel conditions) an optimal combination of 8 data rates, bonded channels, multiple spatial streams, different guard intervals and modulation types.

Meshpoints can communicate as long as they support the same basic MCS (as well as non-802.11n basic rates). The selected rates apply to associated client traffic within this mesh point only.
