Regulatory Compliance (Rest of the World) for Domain Reduction

Information About Regulatory Compliance Domain

Controllers and access points (AP) are designed for use in many countries with varying regulatory requirements. Country code enables to specify a particular country of operation (such as FR for France or ES for Spain). Configuring a country code ensures that each radio’s broadcast frequency bands, interfaces, channels, and transmit power levels are compliant with country-specific regulations.

This feature helps to reduce the number of regulatory domains by modifying the existing pre-provision domains workflow to determine the regulatory domain at runtime for each country code. A new Rest of World (RoW) domain has been introduced and merged to include the nine pre-existing domains. Every AP can determine its own regulatory domain from one of these domains, with the regulated power table and the allowed radio channels.


Note

The transmission power value in the TPC IE of the beacon can differ from that of the transmission power value of the AP displayed in the show controllers dot11radio command, by a maximum difference of 2 dB. The maximum deviation allowed in TPC IE of beacon is 2 dB.

Configuring Country Code for Rest of the World (CLI)

This configuration is mandatory for the RoW.

Follow the procedure given below to configure the country code.

Before you begin

  • Before configuring the country code in the AP profile, ensure that the country is present in the global country list. If the configured country code is not present in the global list, the AP retains the previous country code configuration. In addition, the misconfigured operation triggers a default flag and brings the radio operations down.

  • If the configured country code does not match with the regulatory domain of one or more radio slots, the AP retains the previous country code configuration. In addition, the misconfigured operation triggers a default flag and brings the radio operations down.
