Description

This command configures an AP regulatory domain profile. This profile configures the country code and valid channels for operation of APs. The list of valid channels only affects the channels that may be selected by ARM or by the Mobility Conductor when no channel is configured. Channels that are specifically configured in the AP radio settings profile (see rf dot11a-radio-profile, rf dot11g-radio-profilerf dot11g-radio-profile) must be valid for the country and the AP model.

A Mobility Conductor shipped to certain countries, such as the U.S. and Israel, cannot terminate APs with regulatory domain profiles that specify different country codes from the Mobility Conductor. For example, if a controller is designated for the U.S., then only a regulatory domain profile with the “US” country code is valid; setting APs to a regulatory domain profile with a different country code will result in the radios not coming up. For controllers in other countries, you can mix regulatory domain profiles on the same controller; for example, one controller can support APs in Japan, Taiwan, China, and Singapore.

In order for an AP to boot correctly, the country code configured in the AP regulatory domain profile must match the country code of the LMS. If none of the channels supported by the AP have received regulatory approval by the country whose country code you selected, the AP will revert to Air Monitor mode.

This command is used to override available channels in the list of channels allowed for use in that country. If you do not add any channels to the AP regulatory domain profile, it means the AP can use any of the available channels. If you want to disable use of an entire band, best practices is to use the rf-dot11a-radio-profile, rf-dot11g-radio-profile, or rf dot11-6ghz-radio-profile commands to disable the radio. Alternatively, if you want to disable a specific bandwidth, use the Max Channel Bandwidth and Min Channel Bandwidth settings in the radio profiles, and AirMatch will enforce this setting.

Parameter	Description
ap regulatory-domain-profile <profile>	Configures a Regulatory Domain profile. Give a name to this instance of the profile. The name must be 1–63 characters long.
clone <source>	Name of an existing regulatory domain profile from which parameter values are copied.
country-code <country-code>	Code that represents the country in which the APs will operate. The country code determines the 802.11 wireless transmission spectrum. Improper country code assignment can disrupt wireless transmissions. Most countries impose penalties and sanctions for operators of wireless networks with devices set to improper country codes.
no	Negates any configured parameter.
oob_switch	If enabled, OOB scanning on 6 GHz band is allowed. If disabled OOB scanning on 6 GHz band is blocked. This switch is valid only for AP-615 access points in the 5GHz-and-2.4GHz operation mode. Disable the switch to enable the use of UNII-4 band. Default: Enabled.
utb_filter_block	This parameter is used to control the band on which the UTB limitation is applied in the regulatory-domain-profile. The utb filter supports channel band on both 5 GHz and 6 GHz. Listed below are the two options available:  5 GHz - Select 5 GHz for upper band blocking. 6 GHz - Select 6 GHz for lower band blocking. Default value: 6 GHz
valid-11a-40mhz-channel-pair <valid-11a-40mhz-channel-pair>	Specifies a channel pair valid for 40 MHz operation in the 802.11a frequency band for the specified regulatory domain. The two channels must be separated by a dash. Changing the country code causes the valid channel lists to be reset to the defaults for the country
valid-11a-80mhz-channel-group <valid-11a-80mhz-channel-group>	Specifies which 80 MHz channels on the a band are available for assignment by ARM and for Mobility Conductor to randomly assign if the user has not specified a channel. The channel numbers below correspond to channel center frequency. Changing the country code causes the valid channel lists to be reset to the defaults for the country.
valid-11a-160mhz-channel-group <valid-11a-160mhz-channel-group>	Specifies a valid 802.11a channel group for 160 MHz channel on the a band. The channel numbers below correspond to channel center frequency. Changing the country code causes the valid channel lists to be reset to the defaults for the country.
valid-11a-channel <valid-11a-channel>	Specifies a single 802.11a channel number for 20 MHz operation within the specified regulatory domain. Changing the country code causes the valid channel lists to be reset to the defaults for the country.
valid-11g-40mhz-channel-pair <valid-11g-40mhz-channel-pair>	Specifies a channel pair valid for 40 MHz operation in the 802.11g frequency band for the specified regulatory domain. The two channels must be separated by a dash. Changing the country code causes the valid channel lists to be reset to the defaults for the country.
valid-11g-channel <valid-11g-channel>	Specifies a single 802.11g channel number for 20 MHz operation within the specified regulatory domain. Changing the country code causes the valid channel lists to be reset to the defaults for the country.
valid-6ghz-channel <valid-6ghz-channel>	Specifies a single 6 GHz channel number within the specified regulatory domain. Changing the country code causes the valid channel lists to be reset to the defaults for the country.
