Profiles > AP > Regulatory Domain
This profile type defines an AP's country code and valid channels for both legacy and high-throughput 802.11a
and 802.11b/g radios.
With the implementation of the high-throughput IEEE 802.11n draft standard, 40 MHz channels were added in
addition to the existing 20 MHz channel options. Available 20 MHz and 40 MHz channels are dependent on the
country code entered in the regulatory domain profile.
The following channel configurations are now available in ArubaOS:
A 20 MHz channel assignment consists of a single 20 MHz channel assignment. This channel assignment is

valid for 802.11a/b/g and for 802.11n 20 MHz mode of operation.
A 40 MHz channel assignment consists of two 20 MHz channels bonded together (a bonded pair). This

channel assignment is valid for 802.11n 40 MHz mode of operation and is most often utilized on the 5 GHz
frequency band. If high-throughput is disabled, a 40 MHz channel assignment can be configured, but only the
primary channel assignment will be utilized. 20 MHz clients can also associate using this configuration, but
only the primary channel will be utilized.
A high-throughput (HT) AP can use a 40 MHz channel pair comprised of two adjacent 20 MHz channels
available in the regulatory domain profile for your country. When ARM is configured for a dual-band AP, it will
dynamically select the primary and secondary channels for these devices. It can, however, continue to scan all
changes in the a+b/g bands to calculate interference and detect rogue APs.
Perform these steps to configure a Regulatory Domain profile.
1. Select Profiles > AP > Regulatory Domain in the Dell PowerConnect W Navigation pane. This page
summarizes the current profiles of this type.
2. Select the Add button to create a new Regulatory Domain profile, or click the pencil icon next to an existing
profile to edit. Complete the settings as described in

Top Set the folder with which the profile is associated. The drop-down menu displays all

Designate the country with the 802.1X regulatory standard relevant to this WLAN.
Description
Set the priority of the wired uplink. Each uplink type has an associated priority;
wired ports having the highest priority by default.
If you configure an uplink VLAN on an AP connected to a port in trunk mode, the AP
sends and receives frames tagged with this VLAN on its Ethernet uplink.
By default, an AP has an uplink VLAN of 0, which disables this feature.
NOTE: If an AP is provisioned with an uplink VLAN, it must be connected to a trunk
mode port or the AP's frames will be dropped.
