Use the pmode command to configure the Protection Mode, which will protect 802.11g client transmissions from interruption by 802.11b clients. The pmode command is accessible from all ap: radio2 contexts of the CLI.
Use none only if the Wireless AP will NOT be servicing 802.11b clients, and there are no 802.11b clients or Wireless APs sharing the same air space.
none | Deactivates Protection Mode |
auto | Indicates that Protection Mode will be used only when 802.11b clients or Wireless APs are detected |
always | Indicates that Protection Mode will remain active at all times |
The following example configures the Wireless AP to use Protection Mode at all times:
