rate-selection

interface-config-radio-instance

Sets the data-rate selection mode to standard or opportunistic

Supported in the following platforms:

Syntax

rate-selection [opportunistic|standard]

Parameters

rate-selection [opportunistic|standard]
rate-selection Sets the rate selection mode to standard or opportunistic
standard Configures the monotonic rate selection mode. This is the default setting.
opportunistic Configures the opportunistic radio link adaptation (ORLA) rate selection mode

The ORLA algorithm is designed to select data rates that provide best throughput. Instead of using local conditions to decide whether a data rate is acceptable or not, ORLA pro-actively probes other rates to determine if greater throughput is available. If these other rates do provide improved throughput, ORLA intelligently adjusts its selection tables to favour higher performance. ORLA provides improvements both on the client side of a mesh network as well as in the backhaul capabilities.

Note: The ORLA rate selection mode is not supported on the new 802.11ax APs.
