    Hello,

    I just noticed that the default Regulatory Domain 5G channels are limited to the following:

    ap regulatory-domain-profile "default" 
       country-code US 
       valid-11g-channel 1 
       valid-11g-channel 6 
       valid-11g-channel 11 
       valid-11a-channel 36 
       valid-11a-channel 40 
       valid-11a-channel 44 
       valid-11a-channel 48 
       valid-11a-channel 149 
       valid-11a-channel 153 
       valid-11a-channel 157 
       valid-11a-channel 161 
       valid-11a-channel 165 
       valid-11g-40mhz-channel-pair 1-5 
       valid-11g-40mhz-channel-pair 7-11 
       valid-11a-40mhz-channel-pair 36-40 
       valid-11a-40mhz-channel-pair 44-48 
       valid-11a-40mhz-channel-pair 149-153 
       valid-11a-40mhz-channel-pair 157-161 
       valid-11a-80mhz-channel-group 36-48 
       valid-11a-80mhz-channel-group 149-161 
       valid-11a-160mhz-channel-group 36-64

    Is there a reason why this is the case? 

    I would like to enable all the channels to include the extended UNII-2 and improve AP channel management. 

    We are not in an area that would cause interference to an airport or hospital.

    Thanks,

    Alex

    Defaults aside, I recommend creating a new regulatory domain profile with the desired channels and assign that to your ap-group. Note that DFS issues are not limited to airports or hospitals. In fact, many airports use DFS channels in their channel plans.
