Parameter Description
Default
below correspond to channel center frequency.
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

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 or rf dot11g-radio-
profile) 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. 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:
