Configuring Radio Channel Settings
The default channel setting for the bridge radios is least congested; at startup, the bridge scans for and
selects the least-congested channel. For most consistent performance after a site survey, however, we
recomend that you assign a static channel setting for each bridge. The channel settings on your bridge
correspond to the frequencies available in your regulatory domain. See
Antenna Settings,"
The 5-GHz radio operates on four channels from 5745 to 5805 MHz. Each channel covers 20 MHz, and
the bandwidth for the channels overlaps slightly. For best performance, use channels that are not adjacent
(such as 5745 and 5785) for bridges that are close to each other.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to set the bridge's radio channel:
