indicates that the access point will save all broadcast/
multicast frames for the Basic Service Set (BSS) and
forward them after every second 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.
Example
fragmentation-length
This command configures the minimum packet size that can be
fragmented when passing through the access point.
Syntax
fragmentation-length <length>
length - Minimum packet size for which fragmentation is
allowed. (Range: 256-2346 bytes)
Default Setting
2346
Command Mode
Interface Configuration (Wireless)
Command Usage
• If the packet size is smaller than the preset Fragment size,
the packet will not be segmented.
• Fragmentation of the PDUs (Package Data Unit) can
increase the reliability of transmissions because it increases
the probability of a successful transmission due to smaller
frame size. If there is significant interference present, or
