Using the CLI to Statically Assign Channel and Transmit Power Settings
Follow these steps to statically assign channel and/or power settings on a per access point radio basis
using the CLI.
Step 1
Enter this command to disable the 802.11a or 802.11b/g network:
config
{
802.11a
|
802.11b
}
disable
Step 2
To specify the channel that a particular access point is to use, enter this command:
config
{
802.11a
|
802.11b
}
channel
Cisco_AP channel
Example:
To configure 802.11a channel 36 as the default channel on AP1, enter this command:
config 802.11a channel AP1 36
.
Step 3
To specify the transmit power level that a particular access point is to use, enter this command:
config
{
802.11a
|
802.11b
}
txPower
Cisco_AP power_level
Example: To set the transmit power for 802.11a AP1 to power level 2, enter this command:
config 802.11a txPower AP1 2
.
The transmit power level is assigned an integer value instead of a value in mW or dBm. The integer
corresponds to a power level that varies depending on the regulatory domain in which the access points
are deployed. The number of available power levels varies based on the access point model. However,
power level 1 is always the maximum power level allowed per country code setting, with each successive
power level representing 50% of the previous power level. For example, 1 = maximum power level in a
particular regulatory domain, 2 = 50% power, 3 = 25% power, 4 = 12.5% power, and so on.
Note
Refer to the hardware installation guide for your access point for the maximum transmit power
levels supported per regulatory domain. Also, refer to the data sheet for your access point for the
number of power levels supported.
Step 4
Enter this command to save your settings:
save config
Step 5
Repeat
Step 2
through
Step 4
for each access point radio for which you want to assign a static channel
and power level.
Step 6
Enter this command to enable the 802.11a or 802.11b/g network:
config
{
802.11a
|
802.11b
}
enable
Note
To enable the 802.11g network, enter
config 802.11b 11gSupport enable
after the
config
802.11b enable
command.
Step 7
Enter this command to save your settings:
save config
