After the timeout, the radio reassociates with its parent. Clients connected to the access point through its parent lose their connection for the duration of the test; clients connected to a repeater maintain their connection and can abort the test using the escape sequence (Ctrl key and ^ key).
You display the last 10 results using the show dot11 antenna-alignment command, which lists the MAC address and signal level for the access points that responded to the probe.

The default rate is the automatic rate-shifting algorithm.
Command Modes
Command History
Usage Guidelines
The link test verifies the radio link between the access point and a client device by sending the client a series of special packets, which the client returns to the access point. The client adds information to the packets that quantify how well it received the request. Results are displayed as a table of packet statistics, quality, and signal-level information.
If you specify an interval, the test repeats continuously separated by the specified number of seconds. To abort the test, type the escape sequence (Ctrl key and ^ key). Without an interval, the test runs once.
Examples
This example shows how to initiate a radio link test to send 10 packets to client MAC address 0040963181CF on radio interface 0:

Global Configuration Commands
This section contains the new and revised IOS commands supported by the access point in global configuration mode.
class-map
Use the class-map global configuration command to create a class map to be used for matching packets to the class whose name you specify and to enter class-map configuration mode. Use the no form of this command to delete an existing class map and return to global configuration mode.
- [no] class-map name
Syntax Description
Defaults
This command has no defaults, and there is not a default class map.
Command Modes
Command History
Usage Guidelines
Use this command to specify the name of the class for which you want to create or modify class-map match criteria and to enter class-map configuration mode. In this mode, you can enter one match command to configure the match criterion for this class.
The class-map command and its subcommands are used to define packet classification, marking, and aggregate policing as part of a globally named service policy applied on a per-interface basis.
After you are in quality of service (QoS) class-map configuration mode, these configuration commands are available:
- description: describes the class map (up to 200 characters). The show class-map privileged EXEC command displays the description and the name of the class-map.
- exit: exits from QoS class-map configuration mode.
- match: configures classification criteria. For more information, see the match (class-map configuration) command.
- no: removes a match statement from a class map.
- rename: renames the current class map. If you rename a class map with a name already in use, the message A class-map with this name already exists is displayed.
Only one match criterion per class map is supported. For example, when defining a class map, only one match command can be issued.
Because only one match command per class map is supported, the match-all and match-any keywords function the same.
Only one access control list (ACL) can be configured in a class map. The ACL can have multiple access control entries (ACEs).
Examples
This example shows how to configure the class map called class1. class1 has one match criterion, which is an access list called 103.
This example shows how to delete the class map class1:
You can verify your settings by entering the show class-map privileged EXEC command.

beacon
Use the beacon configuration interface command to specify how often the beacon contains a Delivery Traffic Indicator Message (DTIM). Use the no form of this command to reset the beacon interval to defaults.
- [no] beacon {period Kms | dtim-period count}
Syntax Description
Defaults
Command Modes
Command History
Usage Guidelines
Clients normally wake up each time a beacon is sent to check for pending packets. Longer beacon periods let the client sleep longer and preserve power. Shorter beacon periods reduce the delay in receiving packets.
Controlling the DTIM period has a similar power-saving result. Increasing the DTIM period count lets clients sleep longer, but delays the delivery of multicast packets. Because mulitcast packets are buffered, large DTIM period counts can cause a buffer overflow.
Examples
This example shows how to specify a beacon period of 15 Kms (15.36 ms):

Usage Guidelines
Use this command to control the backoff parameters for each class of traffic. Backoff parameters control how the radio accesses the airwaves. The cw-min and cw-max arguments specify the collision window as a power of 2. For example, if the value is set to 3, the contention window is 0 to 7 backoff slots (2 to the power 3 minus 1). The fixed-slot arguments specify the number of backoff slots that are counted before the random backoff counter starts to count down.
Examples
This example shows how to configure traffic class 6 for contention windows and fixed slot backoff values. Each time the backoff for class 6 is started, the backoff logic waits a minimum of the 802.11 SIFS time plus 2 backoff slots. Then it begins counting down the 0 to 15 backoff slots in the contention window.

vlan (ssid configuration mode)
Use the vlan ssid configuration mode command to configure the radio interface (for the specified SSID) to support a specific Ethernet virtual LAN (VLAN). Use the no form of the command to reset the parameter to the default value.

Usage Guidelines
With world mode enabled, the access point advertises the local settings, such as allowed frequencies and transmitter power levels. Clients with this capability then passively detect and adopt the advertised world settings, and then actively scan for the best access point.
