DETAILED STEPS
Enabling and Disabling Aironet Extensions on an Access Point
Perform this task to enable or disable Cisco Aironet extensions to the IEEE 802.11b standard.
Aironet extensions are enabled by default.
Benefits of Enabling Aironet Extensions
By default, the AP uses Cisco Aironet 802.11 extensions to detect the capabilities of Cisco Aironet client
devices and to support features that require specific interaction between the AP and associated client
devices. Aironet extensions must be enabled to support these features:
• Load balancing—The AP uses Aironet extensions to direct client devices to an AP that provides the
best connection to the network based on factors such as number of users, bit error rates, and signal
strength.
