Chapter 7 Controlling Lightweight Access Points

Migrating Access Points from the -J Regulatory Domain to the -U Regulatory Domain

Guidelines for Migration

Follow these guidelines before migrating your access points to the -U regulatory domain:

You can migrate only Cisco Aironet 1130, 1200, and 1240 lightweight access points that support the
-J regulatory domain and Airespace AS1200 access points. Other access points cannot be migrated.

Your controller and all access points must be running software release 4.1 or greater or software
release 3.2.193.0.

Note

Software release 4.0 is not supported. If you migrate your access points using software
release 3.2.193.0, you cannot upgrade to software release 4.0. You can upgrade only to
software release 4.1 or later or to a later release of the 3.2 software.

You must have had one or more Japan country codes (JP, J2, or J3) configured on your controller at
the time you last booted your controller.

You must have at least one access point with a -J regulatory domain joined to your controller.

You cannot migrate your access points from the -U regulatory domain back to the -J domain. The
Japanese government has made reverse migration illegal.

Note

You cannot undo an access point migration. Once an access point has been migrated, you
cannot return to software release 4.0. Migrated access points will have non-functioning
802.11a radios under software release 4.0.

Migrating Access Points to the -U Regulatory Domain

Follow these steps to migrate your access points from the -J regulatory domain to the -U regulatory
domain using the controller CLI. This process cannot be performed using the controller GUI.

Step 1

To determine which access points in your network are eligible for migration, enter this command:

show ap migrate

Information similar to the following appears:

These 1 APs are eligible for migration:

00:14:1c:ed:27:fe AIR-AP1242AG-J-K9ap1240 “J”Reg. Domain

No APs have already been migrated.

Step 2

Enter these commands to disable the 802.11a and 802.11b/g networks:

config 802.11a disable network

config 802.11b disable network

Step 3

Enter this command to change the country code of the access points to be migrated to J3:

config country J3

Step 4

Wait for any access points that may have rebooted to rejoin the controller.
