Configuring Radio Channel Settings
DFS Automatically Enabled on Some 5-GHz Radio Channels
Access points with 5-GHz radios configured at the factory for use in Europe now comply with
regulations that require radio devices to use Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) to detect radar signals
and avoid interfering with them. Radios configured for use in other regulatory domains do not use DFS.
When a DFS-enabled 5-GHz radio operates on one of the 15 channels listed in
Table 2-7
, the access point
automatically uses DFS to set the operating frequency.
Note
You cannot manually select a channel for DFS-enabled 5-GHz radios.
When DFS is enabled, the access point monitors its operating frequency for radar signals. If it detects
radar signals on the channel, the access point takes these steps:
•
Blocks new transmissions on the channel.
•
Flushes the power-save client queues.
•
Broadcasts an 802.11h channel-switch announcement.
•
Disassociates remaining client devices.
•
Randomly selects a different 5-GHz channel.
•
If the channel selected is one of the channels in
Table 2-7
,
scans the new channel for radar signals
for 60 seconds.
•
If there are no radar signals on the new channel, enables beacons and accepts client associations.
Note
The maximum legal transmit power is greater for some 5-GHz channels than for others. When it
randomly selects a 5-GHz channel on which power is restricted, the access point automatically reduces
transmit power to comply with power limits for that channel.
Note
We recommend that you use the
world-mode dot11d
country-code
configuration interface command to
configure a country code on DFS-enabled radios. The IEEE 802.11h protocol requires access points to
include the country information element (IE) in beacons and probe responses. By default, however, the
country code in the IE is blank. You use the
world-mode
command to populate the country code IE.
