Parameters
cts-to-self: Specifies the CTS-to-self mode.
rts-cts: Specifies the RTS/CTS mode.
Usage guidelines
You can specify either of the following collision avoidance modes for an AP:
• RTS/CTS—An AP sends an RTS packet to a client before sending data to the client. After
receiving the RTS packet, the client sends a CTS packet to the AP. The AP begins to send data
after receiving the CTS packet, and other devices that detect the RTS or CTS packet do not
send data within a specific time period.
• CTS-to-self—An AP sends a CTS packet with its own MAC address as the destination MAC
address before sending data to a client. After receiving the CTS-to-self packet, the AP begins to
send data, and other devices that detect the CTS-to-self packet do not send data within a
specific time period.
