    Posted Jun 13, 2016 05:07 PM

    I've got an AP I placed on channel 124 (power 1) but in the access point monitoring list it says it was moved to 52 because of an unsupported channel. 

     

    In the regulatory domain profile, I've enabled all channels. 

     

    (Aruba-Master-DC-35I) (AP name "NewMaster-Test") #show ap regulatory-domain-profile default
    Regulatory Domain profile "default"

    Is there another reason that would not stay on 124? There are no DFS/Radar events.

    What AOS version? Also if you run the following. While 124 may be allowed on your controller, the specific AP types also have their own allowed channels, of which 124 doesn't appear to be allowed on the AP-124. For me this is on AOS 6.4.4.6

    these are all AP215s. I see that 120-128aren't allowed. 

    AOS version 6.4.3.7

     

    thanks!

    Don't forget you can grab the latest DRT files from support and add them to your controller (no reboot needed) which may allow these channels to operate in the future. Right now, as of AOS 6.5, I don't see those channels on the 215, but standby for mid-July as we will be adding support for new channels and once approved, the new DRT file will allow those channels to work on the 215 (likely not on any 125s though).
