Usage Guidelines
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 controller when no channel is configured. Channels
that are specifically configured in the AP radio settings profile (see “rf dot11a-radio-profile” on page450 or “rf
dot11g-radio-profile” on page456) must be valid for the country and the AP model.
A controller 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 controller. 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.
Parameter Description Range Default
<profile> Name of this instance of the profile. The name must be 1-63
characters.
——
clone Name of an existing regulatory domain profile from which
parameter values are copied.
——
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.

valid-11a-40mhz-
channel-pair
Specify 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.
Example:
36-40
44-48
52-56
country code determines supported
channel pairs
Note: Changing the country code
causes the valid channel lists to be
reset to the defaults for the country.
valid-11a-
channel
Enter a single 802.11a channel number for 20 MHz operation
within the specified regulatory domain.
country code determines supported
channels
Note: Changing the country code
causes the valid channel lists to be
reset to the defaults for the country.
valid-11g-40mhz-
channel-pair
Specify 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.
Example:
1-5
2-6
7-11
country code determines supported
channel pairs
Note: Changing the country code
causes the valid channel lists to be
reset to the defaults for the country.
valid-11g-
channel
Enter a single 802.11g channel number for 20 MHz operation
within the specified regulatory domain.
country code determines supported
channels
Note: Changing the country code
causes the valid channel lists to be
