Configure 11ax non-contiguous 80+80 MHz channels?

  • 1.  Configure 11ax non-contiguous 80+80 MHz channels?

    Posted Aug 19, 2020 10:08 AM

    I have ArubaOS (MODEL: 535), Version 8.6.0.4.


    I understand that 802.11ax and 160 MHz settings are not yet supported in the GUI, so I'm working from CLI.

    I learned that the AP-535 does not support contiguous 160 MHz channels, but will operate with 80+80 non-contiguous.

    I want to enable a-HE in 80+80 non-contiguous using channels 100e and 132e, for example.


    I'm able to set a single 80 MHz channel (I've tried 100E and 116E, but I do not see the 80+80). Is there another configuration setting needed to enable 80+80 non-contiguous?

    Pretty sure it is possible to configure 160 and 80+80 channels from the GUI as well, but unable to verify that now and the AOS UG does not seem to have any content on it. Hoping for others to confirm/help.
