Profiles > AP > Regulatory Domain
This profile type defines an AP’s country code and valid channels for both legacy and high-throughput
802.11a and 802.11b/g radios.
With the implementation of the high-throughput IEEE 802.11n draft standard, 40 MHz channels were added
in addition to the existing 20 MHz channel options. Available 20 MHz and 40 MHz channels are dependent
on the country code entered in the regulatory domain profile.
The following channel configurations are now available in ArubaOS:
z A 20 MHz channel assignment consists of a single 20 MHz channel assignment. This channel assignment
is valid for 802.11a/b/g and for 802.11n 20 MHz mode of operation.
z A 40 MHz channel assignment consists of two 20 MHz channels bonded together (a bonded pair). This
channel assignment is valid for 802.11n 40 MHz mode of operation and is most often utilized on the 5
GHz frequency band. If high-throughput is disabled, a 40 MHz channel assignment can be configured, but
only the primary channel assignment will be utilized. 20 MHz clients can also associate using this
configuration, but only the primary channel will be utilized.
A high-throughput (HT) AP can use a 40 MHz channel pair comprised of two adjacent 20 MHz channels
available in the regulatory domain profile for your country. When ARM is configured for a dual-band AP, it
will dynamically select the primary and secondary channels for these devices. It can, however, continue to
scan all changes in the a+b/g bands to calculate interference and detect rogue APs.
Perform these steps to configure a
Regulatory Domain profile.
1. Click
Profiles > AP > Regulatory Domain in the Aruba Navigation pane. This page summarizes the current
profiles of this type.
2. Click the
Add button to create a new Regulatory Domain profile, or click the pencil icon next to an existing
profile to edit that profile. The
Details page appears. Complete the settings as described in Table 21:

Field Default Description
General Settings
Folder Top Use this field to set and display the folder with which the profile is
associated. The drop-down menu displays all folders available for
association with the profile.
Folders provide a way to organize the visibility of device parameters that
is separate from the configuration groups of devices. Using folders, you
can view basic statistics about device, and define which users have
visibility to which device parameters.
Name Blank Enter the name of the profile.

Country Code Designate the country with the 802.1X regulatory standard relevant to
this WLAN.
