Flexible Dual Band Radios

Aruba 610 Series access points are equipped with flexible dual band Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. radios. Flexible dual band Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. radios are radios that can operate in one of two different radio bands Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. based on the AP setting. In these APs, radio 0 can operate in 5 GHz Gigahertz. and 2.4 GHz Gigahertz. bands Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. while radio 1 can operate in the 2.4 GHz Gigahertz. and 6 GHz Gigahertz. bands Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.. With the combination of the two flexible dual band Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. radios, the AP can operate in one of the following radio band Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. combinations:

By default, APs with flexible dual band Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. radios operate in the 5 GHz Gigahertz. and 2.4 GHz Gigahertz. mode.

The following is the radio band Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. allocation for each Flexible Dual Radio mode:

Flexible Dual Band Radio Mode	Radio 0 Band	Radio 1 Band
5 GHz Gigahertz. and 2.4 GHz Gigahertz.	5 GHz Gigahertz.	2.4 GHz Gigahertz.
5 GHz Gigahertz. and 6 GHz Gigahertz.	5 GHz Gigahertz.	6 GHz Gigahertz.
2.4 GHz Gigahertz. and 6 GHz Gigahertz.	2.4 GHz Gigahertz.	6 GHz Gigahertz.

Important Points to Remember:

If the AP has an existing radio-x-channel configuration, the configuration is deleted when the radio band Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. is changed. The configuration will continue to remain if the radio operates on the same band Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation..
RF Radio Frequency. RF refers to the electromagnetic wave frequencies within a range of 3 kHz to 300 GHz, including the frequencies used for communications or Radar signals. zone settings are applied on the radio that matches the configuration after the radio band Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. change.
Ensure to enable the option RF Radio Frequency.

SSID is a name given to a WLAN and is used by the client to access a WLAN network., see Configuring WLAN Settings for an SSID Profile.
Mesh link and Wi-Fi Wi-Fi is a technology that allows electronic devices to connect to a WLAN network, mainly using the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio bands. Wi-Fi can apply to products that use any 802.11 standard. uplink features continue to operate on the assigned band Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.. When the radio modes are changed, the mesh and Wi-Fi Wi-Fi is a technology that allows electronic devices to connect to a WLAN network, mainly using the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio bands. Wi-Fi can apply to products that use any 802.11 standard. uplink modules will restart and resume on the radio defined in the existing configuration.

For mesh deployments, ensure that the mesh link band Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. is included in the new operating bands Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.. If the mesh link band Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. is out of range, the AP may disconnect from the cluster.

Configuration

The following procedure describes how to configure flexible dual band Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. radio on APs:

Navigate to Configuration > Access Points.
Under Access Points, select the access point you wish to configure flexible dual band Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. radio and click edit. The Edit Access Point page appears.
Expand the Radio tab.
In the Flexible Dual Band Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. list box, choose one of the following options:
- Radio 0: 5 GHz Gigahertz. Radio 1: 2.4 GHz Gigahertz.—Radio 0 operates in the 5 GHz Gigahertz. band Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. and radio 1 operates in the 2.4 GHz Gigahertz. band Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.. This is the default setting.
- Radio 0: 5 GHz Gigahertz. Radio 1: 6 GHz Gigahertz.—Radio 0 operates in the 5 GHz Gigahertz. band Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. and radio 1 operates in the 6 GHz Gigahertz. band Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation..
- Radio 0: 2.4 GHz Gigahertz. Radio 1: 6 GHz Gigahertz.—Radio 0 operates in the 2.4 GHz Gigahertz. band Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. and radio 1 operates in the 6 GHz Gigahertz. band Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation..
Click Save to apply the configuration.

The flex-dual-band command configures the radio bands Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. for APs with flexible dual band Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. radios. This is a per-AP command.

To enable flexible dual band Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. radio, run the flex-dual-band command followed by the operation mode. The following command configures 5 GHz Gigahertz. and 6 GHz Gigahertz. radio bands Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. for the AP:

(Instant AP)# flex-dual-band 5GHz-and-6GHz

To verify the configuration, use the following show command:
