Questions/Symptoms
SYMPTOM:Configuration parameter allows value between 0 to 30 but not clear whether the value is RSSI in dBm or SNR
Cause
CAUSE:Documentation not clear in explaning the unit value for the configuration parameter
Answer/Solution
FIX:
This task configures an RSSI so that clients whose RSSI is lower than the configured RSSI cannot access the WLAN.
Step
1. Enter system view - system-view
2. Configure the client-reject RSSI - wlan option client-reject <value>
Since the noise could vary from environment to environment, we dont put the actual signal strength as the RSSI value in the configuration. Instead we simply specify
SNR value
.
In this case where reject client value is 20 and noise in the environment for example could be: -95dbm, then the actual signal (RSSI) can be derived as follows
So any client with RSSI value around -75dBm when the noise floor is around -95dBm will be rejected by the controller.
Typical noise floor in the environment can be obtained from AP with the following command:
