Configuring Radio Settings on an Access Point

•
The maximum legal transmit power is greater for some 5-GHz channels than for others. When the access
point 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.
Cisco recommends using the world-mode dot11d country-code interface configuration command to
Note
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. Use the world-mode command to populate the country code IE.
