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.
Enter one of these commands to disable the 802.11a or 802.11b/g network:
Step 1
•
•
To specify the channel that a particular access point is to use, enter one of these commands:
Step 2
•
•
Example: To configure 802.11a channel 36 as the default channel on AP1, enter this command:
config 802.11a channel AP1 36.
To specify the transmit power level that a particular access point is to use, enter one of these commands:
Step 3
•
•
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
Step 4 Repeat
power level.
Step 5 Enter one of these commands to enable the 802.11a or 802.11b/g network:

Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Configuration Guide

config 802.11a disable
config 802.11b disable
config 802.11a channel Cisco_AP channel
config 802.11b channel Cisco_AP channel
config 802.11a txPower Cisco_AP power_level
config 802.11b txPower Cisco_AP power_level
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 2 and Step 3 for each access point radio for which you want to assign a static channel and
config 802.11a enable
config 802.11b enable (To enable the 802.11g network, enter config 802.11b 11gSupport enable
after the config 802.11b enable command.)
