  • 1.  how to configure 40MHz channel using copy tftp

    Posted Dec 04, 2024 05:01 PM

    This is an old question but doesn't seem like we have the answer.

    ----env start----
    radio0_channel 36+
    ...
    Using this configuration only channel 36 is assigned. Not 40Mhz channel. Any way to assign a 40MHz channel instead of using CLI or GUI command?

    What equipment are you using and what is your setup? You normally would use WebUI, CLI, Central or Airwave to configure access points and channels.

    I'm using Aruba AP 635. I understand that the GUI or command line can allow us to configure 36+ channel with 40MHz wide channel.

    However, in our environment we are using copy <cfg> ip command to populate the configuration including the channel #.

    The cfg file is something like below. Even the intention is to specify 36 40MHz channel. Aruba OS will ignore + and only use 36 20MHz channel.

    I do understand I can use the CLI command to override with "radio-0-channel 36+ 15" to change it to 40MHz but it is more convenient to just a single cfg file instead of multiple command. I saw another thread that ask about that but don't see any response from Aruba. For your reference https://community.arubanetworks.com/discussion/set-ap-env-parameters-over-a-config-file#bm52368177-be81-407e-b2f3-47ca1cfe1bf6 on question 2 "can't apply over tftp config 80MHz channels for 5GHz radio".    

    cfg file sample:

    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    version 8.10.0.0-8.10.0
    ----env start----
    radio0_channel 36+
    radio0_power_10x 15.0
    ----env end----

    ----config start----
    ...
    ----config end----

    There is zero expectation that a user will be configuring a static power or channel in the way that you are showing, so I wouldn't expect any change in the behavior to support what you are attempting.

    The question should read as how to configure 40MHz using tftp option. Note that today tftp option do support 20MHz channel assignment.

    Below work to assign channel with 36 20MHz channel. If we want to configure the channel as 36 40MHz, how do we do that?

    Do not understand your statement of zero expectation that user will configure in this way. Are you commenting using 36E as an syntax or the whole approach? If I can assign a channel with 20MHz, DO NOT understand why you do not expect customer to assign a 40MHz channel. People is using this method today for 20MHz channel assignment.

    version 8.10.0.0-8.10.0

    radio0_channel 36
    radio0_power_10x 15.0
    ----env end----

    Zero expectation that a customer will be using your specific method to configure channel and/or power.

    The expected method is through one of the available, documented, and supported configuration methods: CLI, UI, or API, either directly or through a management platform.
