A new configuration option for improved compatibility with legacy Wi-Fi clients: Control the TKIP countermeasures hold-down timer. If the Wi‑Fi Access Point with WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK protection mode detects two MIC errors in RX failures within 60 seconds, it blocks all the wireless TKIP clients on that interface for the hold-down timer. Use this command to disable or tune this behaviour. [SYS-434]
