Parameter Description Range Default
beacon-period
Time, in milliseconds, between successive
beacon transmissions. The beacon
advertises the AP’s presence, identity, and
radio characteristics to wireless clients.

100 milli-
seconds
beacon-regulate
Enabling this setting introduces
randomness in the beacon generation so
that multiple APs on the same channel do
not send beacons at the same time, which
causes collisions over the air.

cap-reg-eirp
<cap-reg-eirp>
Work around a known issue on Cisco 7921G
telephones by specifying a cap for a radio’s
maximum equivalent isotropic radiated
power (EIRP). When you enable this
parameter, even if the regulatory approved
maximum for a given channel is higher than
this EIRP cap, the AP radio using this profile
will advertise only this capped maximum
EIRP in its radio beacons.
1–31 dBm.
cell-size-reduction
<cell-size-reduction>
The cell size reduction feature allows you
manage dense deployments and to increase
overall system performance and capacity by
shrinking an AP’s receive coverage area,
thereby minimizing co-channel interference
and optimizing channel reuse. This value
should only be changed if the network is
experiencing performance issues. The pos-
sible range of values for this feature is 0-55
dB. The default 0 dB reduction allows the
radio to retain its current default Rx sensitivity
value.
Values from 1 dB - 55 dB reduce the power
level that the radio can hear by that amount.
If you configure this feature to use a non-
default value, you must also reduce the
radio’s transmission (Tx) power to match its
new received (Rx) power level. Failure to
match a device’s Tx power level to its Rx
power level can result in a configuration that
allows the radio to send messages to a
device that it cannot hear.

Channel number for the AP
802.11a/802.11n.802.11ac physical layer.
The available channels depend on the
regulatory domain (country). Channel
number configuration options for 20 MHz,
40 MHz, and 80 Mhz modes:
l num: Entering a channel number
disables 40 MHz mode and activates 20
MHz mode for the entered channel.
l num+: Entering a channel number with a
plus (+) sign selects a primary and
secondary channel for
40 MHz and 80 Mhz modes. The number
entered becomes the primary channel
and the secondary channel is
