Failed to activate regulatory file reg-data-1.0_00002.txt. File Version should be greater
than 1.0_43859
l APs do not rebootstrap or reboot on activation.
l If there is change in channel list or power level, APs will change the channel/power level. Impact is same as
that of ARM channel/power change in that case.
l Clients are not disconnected upon regulatory file activation. Max latency impact during activation (with no
channel changes) is less than 1s (applies to power change too).
l With channel change, the impact is similar to ARM channel change (depends on client behavior and if CSA is
enabled or not).
l If support for the AP (Country) is added, the AP will move from AM to AP mode (if the AP is configured in AP
mode of operation).
Copying the Regulatory-Cert
You can use the following protocols to copy the regulatory file to a controller:
l FTP
l TFTP
l SCP
Additionally, regulatory files saved to a USB drive can be uploaded to a controller equipped with a USB port.
You can copy the Regulatory-Cert to the controller using the WebUI or CLI.
In the WebUI
1. Navigate to the Maintenance > File > Copy Files page.
2. Select the source (TFTP, FTP, SCP, or USB) where the file exists.
3. The controller WebUI will automatically select Flash File System under the Destination Selection menu.
4. Click Apply.
In the CLI
Use one of the following copy commands to download the regulatory file to the controller:
copy
ftp: <ftphost> <user> <filename>
scp: <scphost> <username> <filename> flash: <destfilename>
tftp: <tftphost> <filename> flash: <destfilename>
usb: partition <partition-number> <filename> flash: <destfilename>
To view the current regulatory and the content of the file, use the following commands:
show ap regulatory
show ap allowed-channels country-code <country-code> ap-type <ap-type
show ap allowed-max-eirp ap-name <ap-name> country-code <country-code>
show ap debug received-reg-table ap-name <ap-name>
Activating the Regulatory-Cert
Once the Regulatory-Cert has been added to the controller, the new regulatory information must be activated
and pushed to the APs.
