That is exactly the case. Nothing to worry about going from and to those code versions for 2.4 / 5 GHz.

Hi Josh,
Will the AP-634s still work with 2.4 and 5GHz if outside access is not set?
We are running 8.12.0.0-FIPS and our AP-634s still work, with 6GHz disabled.
Concern is that if I upgrade to 8.12.0.3-FIPs, AP-634s will be completely disabled, I am hoping its not the case.

No, the FCO process running on the Mobility Conductor must be able to reach Central. You will need external connectivity.

Hi Josh,
Thanks for the info.
Will this work with air-gapped systems?
Our Conductor and controllers have no external connectivity.
We have a lot of AP-634 that we need to deploy.
Thanks,
Alex

Hey Alex,
FCO is for Standard Power APs that require AFC for 6 GHz operation. The profile can be found at the Mobility Conductor > Configuration > System > Profiles > Wireless LAN > FCO Agent. You'll need a GreenLake account to generate the creds to populate the agent profile.
Documented here: https://www.arubanetworks.com/techdocs/ArubaOS_8.12.0_Web_Help/Content/arubaos-solutions/6ghz-radio/6ghz-conf-AFC.htm
The Mobility Conductor (MCr) is the device that actually talks to Central. This means you'll need to make sure the MCr can resolve the FCO endpoint (IP domain lookup enabled w/ reachable DNS servers). You will also need to SSH into the MCr and enable the GPS service profile via CLI.
There is also AP specific configuration, the AP altitude and reference point (AGL or AMSL) must be set in the AP sys prof and of course allowed-band-6ghz must be applied to the target VAPs.
Verification/debugging commands:
MCr specific:
show gps service-profile default
show fco agent-profile
show fco status all-aps
show log all 30 | include fco_agent
MD specific:
show ap system-profile test | include Alt
show ap gps summary ap-name <name>
show ap debug received-afc-channel ap-name <name>
show ap remote debug afc-channel history ap-name <name>
show ap monitor ap-ext-info ap-name <name>

Hello,
Just upgraded my lab setup to 8.12.0.3 and seeing this alert:
I tried to look for the configuration in both the MM and MC UI but couldnt find where the FCO settings are located.
Do we have any documentation or guide I can use?
Thanks,
Alex
