the access point will save all broadcast/multicast frames for the Basic
Service Set (BSS) and forward them after every beacon.
◆ Using smaller DTIM intervals delivers broadcast/multicast frames in a
more timely manner, causing stations in Power Save mode to wake up
more often and drain power faster. Using higher DTIM values reduces
the power used by stations in Power Save mode, but delays the
transmission of broadcast/multicast frames.

AP(if-wireless 0)# dtim-period 10

rts-threshold This command sets the packet size threshold at which a Request to Send
(RTS) signal must be sent to the receiving station prior to the sending
station starting communications.
SYNTAX
rts-threshold <threshold>
threshold - Threshold packet size for which to send an RTS.
(Range: 0-2347 bytes)
DEFAULT SETTING
2347
COMMAND MODE
Interface Configuration (Wireless)
COMMAND USAGE
◆ If the threshold is set to 0, the access point always sends RTS signals.
If set to 2347, the access point never sends RTS signals. If set to any
other value, and the packet size equals or exceeds the RTS threshold,
the RTS/CTS (Request to Send / Clear to Send) mechanism will be
enabled.
◆ The access point sends RTS frames to a receiving station to negotiate
the sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS frame, the station
sends a CTS frame to notify the sending station that it can start sending
data.
◆ Access points contending for the wireless medium may not be aware of
each other. The RTS/CTS mechanism can solve this “Hidden Node”
problem.
