Hi,

There is also one another condition where it should be set, as mentioned in standard.

From 802.11g 2003 standard:

The Barker_Preamble_Mode bit shall be set to 1 by the ERP Information Element sender if one or more associated NonERP STAs are not short preamble capable as indicated in their Capability Information
field, or if the ERP Information Element senders dot11ShortPreambleOptionImplemented MIB
variable is set to false.

And this condition is not realised by Cisco i.e if we set long preamble only ,with no stations associated the barker bit is not set in beacon.

Can you please explain this anamoly or is this a defect in cisco implementation

With regards,
Murali

Success Stories

I literally just came out of the testing centre having taken the CWDP exam. The certification process opened my mind to different techniques and solutions. This knowledge can only broaden your perspective. Great job, CWNP, you have a great thing going on here.

Working through the CWNP coursework and certifications helped not only to deepen my technical knowledge and understanding, but also it boosted my confidence. The hard work it took to earn my CWNE has been rewarding in so many ways.

I want to commend you and all at CWNP for having a great organization. You really 'raise the bar' on knowing Wi-Fi well. I have learned a ton of information that is helping my job experience and personal career goals, because of my CWAP/CWDP/CWSP studies. Kudos to all at CWNP.
