option 4-way-handshake resend
Use option 4-way-handshake resend to set the maximum number of retransmissions for an EAPOL-Key packet and the retransmission interval.
Use undo option 4-way-handshake resend to restore the default.
Syntax
option 4-way-handshake resend max-count [ interval interval ]
undo option 4-way-handshake resend
Default
The maximum number of retransmissions for an EAPOL-Key packet is three, and the retransmission interval is 300 milliseconds.

Predefined user roles
network-admin
Parameters
resend max-count: Specifies the maximum number of retransmissions for an EAPOL-Key packet, in the range of 0 to 3.
interval interval: Specifies the retransmission interval in the range of 200 to 500 milliseconds.
Usage guidelines
In Robust Security Network Association (RSNA) authentication, an AP and a client use EAPOL-Key packets in the four-way handshake to negotiate the keys. After that, the AP and the client periodically exchange EAPOL-Key packets to update the keys.
During key negotiation or update, the AP keeps retransmitting an EAPOL-Key packet until a response is received or the maximum number of retries for an EAPOL-Key packet is reached.
The system starts to count the retries when the maximum number of retransmissions is reached.
To ensure successful RSN key negotiation or update, you can increase the maximum number of retransmissions and the maximum number of retries for an EAPOL-Key packet.
For more information about RSN key negotiation or update, see "Configuring WLAN security."
Examples
# In service template view, set the maximum number of retransmissions for an EAPOL-Key packet to one and the retransmission interval to 400 milliseconds.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] wlan service-template service1

Parameters
retry max-count: Specifies the maximum number of retries for an EAPOL-Key packet, in the range of 0 to 3.
interval interval: Specifies the retry interval in the range of 2 to 5 seconds.
Usage guidelines
During RSN key negotiation or update, an AP keeps retransmitting an EAPOL-Key packet until a response is received or the maximum number of retries for an EAPOL-Key packet is reached.
The system starts to count the retries when the maximum number of retransmissions is reached.
If you execute this command for multiple times, the most recent configuration takes effect.

option broadcast-multicast-buffer
Use option broadcast-multicast-buffer enable to enable multicast and broadcast buffering.
Use option broadcast-multicast-buffer disable to disable multicast and broadcast buffering.
Use undo option broadcast-multicast-buffer to restore the default.
Syntax
option broadcast-multicast-buffer { disable | enable [ limit limit ] }
undo option broadcast-multicast-buffer
Default
Multicast and broadcast buffering is enabled.
Views
Radio interface view
Predefined user roles
network-admin
Parameters
limit limit: Specifies the maximum number of multicast or broadcast packets that can be buffered. The value range for the limit argument is 1 to 600 and the default value is 100.
Usage guidelines
With this feature enabled, the AC stops sending broadcast and multicast packets and buffers them if an associated client is in sleep state. This mechanism affects the performance of real-time multicast applications.
With this feature disabled, the AC directly sends all broadcast and multicast packets regardless of whether an associated client is in sleep state.
Examples
# Disable multicast and broadcast buffering.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname]interface wlan-radio 1/0/1
[Sysname-WLAN-Radio1/0/1] option broadcast-multicast-buffer disable
option capacity-adjust

Use option capacity-adjust disable to disable transmit power adjustment.
Use undo capacity-adjust to restore the default.
Syntax
option capacity-adjust { disable | enable [ all ] { increase | decrease } value }
undo option capacity-adjust
Default
Transmit power adjustment is disabled.

Parameters
all: Configures transmit power adjustment for all rates. If you do not specify this keyword, the command configures transmit power adjustment for mandatory rates.
increase: Increases the transmit power.
decrease: Decreases the transmit power.
value: Specifies the transmit power adjustment value in the range of 1 to 27 dBm.
Usage guidelines

Views
Radio interface view
Predefined user roles
network-admin
Parameters
level level: Specifies the channel reuse level in the range of 1 to 10. The recommended channel reuse level is 6.
Usage guidelines
This feature enables an AP to ignore packets with a signal strength lower than the specified channel reuse level. This mechanism enables the AP to obtain more radio resources and improves the performance of APs working on the same channel.
Examples
# Enable channel reuse and set the channel reuse level to 5.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname]interface wlan-radio 1/0/1
[Sysname-WLAN-Radio1/0/1] option channel-reuse-optimization enable level 5

network-admin
Parameters
power-level power-level: Specifies the power level for channel sharing, in the range of 1 to 40. The recommended value is 30.
Usage guidelines
When this feature is enabled, an AP sends or does not send packets according to whether the detected signals are stronger or weaker than the specified power level. This mechanism avoids channel collision and interference.
Examples
# Enable channel sharing and set the power level to 30.
<Sysname> system-view

Predefined user roles
network-admin
Parameters
rssi rssi-value: Specifies the RSSI threshold in the range of 5 to 100. The default and recommended RSSI thresholds are 10 and 20, respectively.
interval interval: Specifies the interval at which an AP detects the signal strength of the clients. The value range for the interval argument is 3 to 10 seconds and the default interval is 3 seconds.
Usage guidelines
This feature enables an AP to send deauthentication frames to a client when the AP detects that the signal strength of the client is lower than the specified RSSI threshold. Then, the client can reassociate with the AP or roam to another AP.
Examples
# Enable AP-triggered client reassociation, and set the RSSI threshold and detection interval to 30 and 5 seconds, respectively.

Predefined user roles
network-admin
Parameters
rssi rssi-value: Specifies the RSSI threshold in the range of 5 to 100. Both the default and recommended RSSI thresholds are 10.
Usage guidelines
This feature enables an AP to reject clients with an RSSI lower than the specified threshold to release channel resources and enhance WLAN performance.
After you enable this feature, wireless clients with an RSSI lower than the threshold might fail to access the WLAN.
After a client accesses the WLAN, an AP will not log off the client with an RSSI lower than the threshold but will reject the client after it disconnects from the network.
Examples
# Enable the AP to reject clients with an RSSI lower than 30 dBm.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname]interface wlan-radio 1/0/1
[Sysname-WLAN-Radio1/0/1] option client reject enable rssi 30

Syntax
option dot11n-restraint { disable | enable packet-number packet-number packet-length packet-length } [ inbound | outbound ] [ tid tid-number ]

Parameters
packet-number packet-number: Specifies the maximum number of MPDUs that can be aggregated into an A-MPDU, in the range of 1 to 64. The recommended value is 8.
packet-length packet-length: Specifies the maximum A-MPDU length, in the range of 2000 to 380000 bytes. The recommended value is 6000.
inbound: Specifies 802.11n packet suppression in the inbound direction.
outbound: Specifies 802.11n packet suppression in the outbound direction.
tid tid-number: Specifies a traffic identifier, in the range of 0 to 7. The queue type varies by TID value.
· 0 and 3—AC-BE queue.
· 1 and 2—AC-BK queue.
· 4 and 5—AC-VI queue.
· 6 and 7—AC-VO queue.
If you do not specify this option, 802.11n packet suppression applies to all types of packets.
Usage guidelines
Perform this task to suppress 802.11n packets by defining the maximum number of aggregated MPDUs and the maximum A-MPDU length. The two thresholds take effect at the same time. If either threshold is reached, the AP stops aggregation and sends the A-MPDU.
Examples
# Enable 802.11n packet suppression. Set the maximum number of MPDUs that can be aggregated into an A-MPDU and the maximum A-MPDU length to 30 and 10000 bytes, respectively.

Parameters
minpower minpower: Specifies the minimum transmit power in the range of 1 to 27. The default value is 10.
powerstep powerstep: Specifies the step value for transmit power decrease, in the range of 1 to 15. The default value is 5.
