Concept Guide

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. 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.
Examples
The following command configures the regulatory domain profile for APs in Japan:
(host) (config) #ap regulatory-domain-profile rd1
country-code JP
The following command configures a regulatory domain profile for APs in the United States and specifies that
the channel pair of 36 and 40, is allowed for 40 MHz mode of operation on the 5 GHz frequency band:
(host) (config) #ap regulatory-domain-profile usa1
country-code US
valid-11a-40mhz-channel-pair 36-40
The following command configures a regulatory domain profile for APs in the United States and specifies that
the channel pair of 5 and 1, is allowed for 40 MHz mode of operation on the 2.4 GHz frequency band:
(host) (config) #ap regulatory-domain-profile usa1
country-code US
valid-11g-40mhz-channel-pair 1-5
