data-beacon-rate
To configure the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) interval for an access point, use the
data-beacon-rate command in the WiFi AP interface configuration.
Syntax Description rate
Command Default
The default rate is 1 millisecond.
Command Modes WiFi AP interface configuration
Usage Guidelines The DTIM interval is a multiple of the beacon interval. Before you change the DTIM interval, consider
the types of clients in the network: laptops might function better with a short interval, but mobile phones
might function better with a long interval.
A long interval allows clients to save power, but may delay multicast and broadcast traffic.
A short interval decreases the delivery time of multicast and broadcast traffic, but may increase power
consumption by clients.
