To prioritize AP heartbeats using the command-line interface, access the CLI in config mode and issue the
following command:
ap system-profile <profile>
heartbeat-dscp <number>
use the following commands:
show ap config {ap-group <name>|ap-name <name>|essid <name>}
show ap debug system-status {ap-name <name>|bssid <name>| ip-addr <ipaddr>}
On the local controller, you can also view maintenance mode status using the following commands:
show ap active {ap-name <name>|essid <name>|ip-addr <ipaddr>}
show ap database
show ap details {ap-name <name>|bssid <name>|ip-addr <ipaddr>}
Configuring AP Channel Assignments
The country code in the AP Regulatory Domain profile determines supported channel and channel pairs for
that specific AP. Any changes to the country code causes the valid channel lists to be reset to the defaults for
the country.
The example in this section illustrates how to perform the following tasks for an AP group:
1. Configure the “default” regulatory domain profile to use a valid country code. (In this example, the country
code US.) This will determine the available channels.
2. Configure a 40 MHz channel (bonded pair) for the AP group’s 802.11a (5 GHz) radio profile.
3. Configure a 20 MHz channel for the AP group’s 802.11g (2.4 GHz) radio profile.
This example uses default ARM profile settings and the recommended high-throughput channel assignments for the
802.11a and 802.11b/g bands. If you want the channel assignments to utilize high-throughput, ensure that high-
throughput is enabled within the radio profile. For details, see 802.11a and 802.11g RF Management Profiles on page
509.
Using the WebUI
1. Navigate to Configuration > Wireless > AP Configuration > AP Group page.
2. Click the Edit button by the name of the AP group to which you want to assign specific channels.
3. In the Profiles list, expand the AP menu to display the AP profiles used by the AP group.
4. Select the Regulatory Domain profile named default.
5. Click the Country Code drop-down menu and select the US-United States domain if it is not already
selected.
The Regulatory Domain’s country code determines which channels are selected in the following fields:
l Valid 802.11g channel
l Valid 802.11a channel
