    I have a 7030 controller running 6.4.2.6 code with 11 AP 215's attached.   what I have noticed is that they are all using channel 44 or 48 on the a band.   The B band they are using 1,6,11 as I would expect.

    what would be the cause of this?

    - What regulatory domain?

    - Are you using 80 mhz channels (E)?

    - Do you have ARM Client-Aware enabled (it is on by default).

    the regulatory domain is JP3

    yes client aware is enabled,

    I thought 80mhz channels where not available but I just checked and it has been anabled.

    You should see what allowed channels are by doing this:

     

    show ap allowed-channels ap-name <name of ap>

     

    Then you should probably download the latest DRT (Downloadable Regulatory Table) to properly enable the AP215 for the Japan regulatory domain:  https://support.arubanetworks.com/DownloadSoftware/tabid/75/DMXModule/510/EntryId/18212/Default.aspx

    Well,

     

    What is the regulatory domain assigned to those access points and have any channels been removed from it?  If not, you should open a TAC case.
