Zero-wait DFS
Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS Dynamic Frequency Selection. DFS is a mandate for radio systems operating in the 5 GHz band to be equipped with means to identify and avoid interference with Radar systems.), a mandate for radio systems operating in the 5 GHz Gigahertz. band Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. to identify and avoid interference with radar systems now supports zero-wait feature. When an 802.11 802.11 is an evolving family of specifications for wireless LANs developed by a working group of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). 802.11 standards use the Ethernet protocol and Carrier Sense Multiple Access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) for path sharing. radio detects radar, it vacates its channel and switches to another channel. The zero wait DFS Dynamic Frequency Selection. DFS is a mandate for radio systems operating in the 5 GHz band to be equipped with means to identify and avoid interference with Radar systems. feature provides seamless change of channels and avoids the period of no transmission. Hence, stations do not lose its connectivity when an AP moves to a DFS Dynamic Frequency Selection. DFS is a mandate for radio systems operating in the 5 GHz band to be equipped with means to identify and avoid interference with Radar systems. channel.
Mesh APs do not support zero-wait DFS Dynamic Frequency Selection. DFS is a mandate for radio systems operating in the 5 GHz band to be equipped with means to identify and avoid interference with Radar systems. feature.
510 Series, 518 Series, 530 Series, 550 Series, 570 Series, and 650 Series access points support zero-wait DFS Dynamic Frequency Selection. DFS is a mandate for radio systems operating in the 5 GHz band to be equipped with means to identify and avoid interference with Radar systems. feature.
Zero-wait DFS Dynamic Frequency Selection. DFS is a mandate for radio systems operating in the 5 GHz band to be equipped with means to identify and avoid interference with Radar systems. can be configured for the 5 GHz Gigahertz. and secondary 5 GHz Gigahertz. radio profiles. It is configured using the zero-wait-dfs parameter in the rf dot11a-radio-profile and rf dot11a-secondary-radio-profile commands. This feature is disabled by default.
The following example configures zero-wait DFS Dynamic Frequency Selection. DFS is a mandate for radio systems operating in the 5 GHz band to be equipped with means to identify and avoid interference with Radar systems. feature for the 5 GHz Gigahertz. radio profile:
(Instant AP) (config) # rf dot11a-radio-profile terre

Limitations
The following are the limitations of zero-wait DFS Dynamic Frequency Selection. DFS is a mandate for radio systems operating in the 5 GHz band to be equipped with means to identify and avoid interference with Radar systems. feature due to the use of UTB filter on 5 GHz Gigahertz. radio:
-
Zero-wait DFS Dynamic Frequency Selection. DFS is a mandate for radio systems operating in the 5 GHz band to be equipped with means to identify and avoid interference with Radar systems. is disabled when the home channel is at narrow band Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. on 5 GHz Gigahertz. radio. The supported home channels for narrow band Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. are from channel 149 onwards.
-
Zero-wait DFS Dynamic Frequency Selection. DFS is a mandate for radio systems operating in the 5 GHz band to be equipped with means to identify and avoid interference with Radar systems. is enabled only when the home channel is between channel 36 and channel 144.
