Understanding Flexible Radio Assignment (Software Overview)

The AP 2800 and 3800 contain a Flexible Radio Architecture; In a sense the AP is a tri-band radio as it contains
a dedicated 5–GHz radio to serve clients and another Flexible Radio (known as an XOR radio) that can be
assigned different functions within the network.
The flexible radio is similar to the previous XOR radio used in the Cisco WSSI/WSM modules for the AP
3700, but this new flexible radio module is able to be configured to serve clients in either 2.4-GHz or 5–GHz
or serially scan both 2.4-GHz and 5–GHz on the flexible radio while the main 5–GHz radio serves clients.
