Configuring Radio Settings

The 1, 2, 3, and 4 options designate blocks of channels:

1 - Specifies frequencies 5.150…5.250 GHz.

This group of frequencies is also known as the UNII-1 band.

2 - Specifies frequencies 5.250…5.350 GHz.

This group of frequencies is also known as the UNII-2 band.

3 - Specifies frequencies 5.470…5.725 GHz.
4 - Specifies frequencies 5.725…5.825 GHz.

This group of frequencies is also known as the UNII-3 band.

This example shows how to prevent the access point from selecting frequencies
5.150…5.350 GHz during DFS:

ap(config-if)# dfs band 1 2 block

This example shows how to unblock frequencies 5.150…5.350 for DFS:

ap(config-if)# no dfs band 1 2 block

This example shows how to unblock all frequencies for DFS:

ap(config-if)# no dfs band block
