Data Retries on Client details

Question

Good Afternoon,
I was looking at a client detail on some of our Flex Connect AP's and in some instances I see a high number of Data Retries. Any indicitation as to what is causing this? Is it of any concern?

Answer 1

You can also configure the Data retries from radio setting , here it is :
Configuring the Maximum Data Retries
The maximum data retries setting determines the number of attempts the  access point/bridge makes to send a packet before giving up and dropping  the packet.
The default setting is 32. Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the maximum data retries:
Command Purpose
Step 1 
configure terminal
Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2 
interface dot11radio 0
Enter interface configuration mode for the radio interface.
Step 3 
packet retries value | drop-packet
Set the maximum data retries. Enter a setting from 1 to 128.
Use the drop-packet command to maintain association and drop the packets when the maximum retry value is reached.
Step 4 
end
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5 
copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
Use the no form of the command to reset the setting to defaults.
