5.5.1.1 WLAN General Commands Example
This example sets wireless slot 1 to use the IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g bands, channel 5,
super mode, 50 % output power, and enables it.
5.5.2 WLAN Interface Commands
Use these commands to configure global settings that apply to all of the wireless LAN
interfaces you create on the WLAN card.
[no] ctsrts <256..2346> Sets the Clear To Send/Request To Send threshold. CTS/
RTS reduces data collisions caused by wireless clients that
are associated with the same AP but out of range of one
another. The no command turns off CTS/RTS.
[no] frag <256..2346> Sets the threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation
boundary for directed messages. It is the maximum data
fragment size that can be sent.
[no] super
Enables super mode (fast frame and packet bursting).
role ap Sets the ZyWALL to act as an AP (only the AP role is
supported at the time of writing.
output-power [100% | 50% | 25% |
12.5%]
Sets the wireless output power. Reducing output power can
help reduce interference with other nearby APs.
exit Leaves the sub-command mode.

COMMAND DESCRIPTION
[no] interface ap_interface Creates the specified interface if necessary and enters sub-
command mode. The
no command deletes the specified
interface.
ap_interface: The name of the WLAN Access Point
interface. Use wlan-x-y where x equals the number of the
card slot and y equals the number of the individual WLAN
interface.
[no] block-intra Enables intra-BSS blocking (prevents) wireless clients in this
profile’s BSS from communicating with one another.
[no] hide Obscures the SSID in the outgoing beacon frame so a station
cannot obtain the SSID through scanning.
