    The controller shows the IAP as AM after the conversion to CAP, i have noticed that the country code of the controller is assigned to a wrong country.

     

    Will it show as AP if i change the regulatory domain profile on the controller to match the correct country code on the instant, or do i have to reset the controller and change the country code?

     

    And If i change the Reg.Dom. is there any downtime as site is sensative?

    Ensuring the country codes are correct will allow the AP to broadcast. You need to make sure the hardware is supported in the regulatory domain regardless however.

     

    You can check the allowed channels for a domain and AP type using the following command: 

     

    show ap allowed-channels country-code UK ap-type ap-105

    Only certain AP typres are approved for use in selected regulatory domains.

     

    What is the AP mode, the regulatory domain you wish to use it in and the version of ArubaOS you are running?

    Running AOS 6.5 , the controller is a 72xx RW model but is set to US form initial set up, and should be SA. IAP is 275 RW

    Both are RW ,hardware is supported.

     

    will the change of the reg. domain profile fix the AM issue ?

    is there any interruption to the WLAN in doing so?

    Yes, change the reg domain in the AP system profile so it matches. Looking at the ArubaOS 6.5 Guide, changing the reg domain for an AP does not cause a radio restart.


    Why is the country code of the controller not set to SA, you will need to reset the controller if you wish to change this.
