Enabling Flexible Radio
This feature allows the AP to seamlessly switch between modes where the radio resources are either combined
in a single 2x2 radio or separated in two 1x1 radios.
You can configure the flex-radio in the following modes:
n 5 GHz mode: acts as a single radio operating on 5 GHz band
n 2.4 GHz mode: acts as a single radio operating on 2.4 GHz band
n 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz mode: acts as two radios interfaces, one operating on 5 GHz band, and the other on the
2.4 GHz band. By default, the flexible radio is set to this mode.
You can enable or disable the Flex Radio Mode parameter using the CLI and WebUI interfaces.
In the WebUI
The following procedure configures the Flex Radio Mode parameter in AP System profile:
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Advanced Services > All Profiles page.
2. Under AP > AP System on the Profiles pane, select the profile name.
3. Under the Basic tab on the Profile Details pane, select the Flex Radio Mode checkbox.
4. Click Apply.
In the CLI
To control the flex-radio in the AP system profile, use the following CLI:
(host) (config) #ap system-profile default
(host) (AP system profile "default") #flex-radio-mode
Enabling Spanning Tree
The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) can prevent loops in bridged Ethernet local area networks. You can enable or
disable the Spanning Tree parameter using the CLI and WebUI interfaces.
In the WebUI
The following procedure configures the Spanning Tree parameter in AP System profile:
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Advanced Services > All Profiles page.
2. Under AP > AP System on the Profiles pane, select the profile name.
3. Under the Basic tab on the Profile Details pane, select the Spanning Tree checkbox.
4. Click Apply.
In the CLI
STP is enabled only on wired ports of an AP. STP works only on downlink ports (eth1-<n>). The spanning Tree is
supported in APs with 3 or more ports.
The following example enables spanning tree in default ap-system profile, using the CLI command:
(host) (config) #ap system-profile default
(host) (AP system profile "default") #spanning-tree
The following example displays the spanning tree information of an AP, using the CLI command:
(host) (config) #show ap debug spanning-tree ap-name <ap-name>
