How to change EWC AP country code over SSH ?

jguittet — Tue, 05 Nov 2024 12:50:29 GMT

Hello,

Before updating my Cisco C9120AXE (fw was 16.x) I was used to change the country code with the following commands over SSH:

enable
configure terminal
ap dot11 24ghz shutdown
ap dot11 5ghz shutdown
ap country <country_code>
no ap dot11 24ghz shutdown
no ap dot11 5ghz shutdown
end

And it was working as expected.

Now I have upgraded the AP to 17.9 and the configuration of this AP has been reseted. I would like to change the country code over SSH. The above sequence is not working anymore.

I have read in the manual that "ap country" is replaced by "wireless country", but it's not enough to get it working.

Any advice to do that ? Maybe some settings I need to change first to allow the commands to be executed ?

Thanks for feedbacks,

Joel

- Could you tell why "wireless country... " is not working for you and or what errors do you get , a screenshot could be helpful ,

I do "show ap name AP84F1.4783.21FC config general" to read the current country code:

Cisco AP Name : AP84F1.4783.21FC
=================================================

Cisco AP Identifier : 84f1.47ad.1160
Country Code : Multiple Countries : FR,DE,GB
Regulatory Domain Allowed by Country : 802.11bg:-E 802.11a:-E 802.11 6GHz:-E
AP Country Code : DE - Germany

Then I do the following to change it:

enable
configure terminal
wireless country FR
end

Then again "show ap name AP84F1.4783.21FC config general" to read the current country code:

Cisco AP Name : AP84F1.4783.21FC
=================================================

Cisco AP Identifier : 84f1.47ad.1160
Country Code : Multiple Countries : FR,DE,GB
Regulatory Domain Allowed by Country : 802.11bg:-E 802.11a:-E 802.11 6GHz:-E
AP Country Code : DE - Germany

Not changed 😞

If I change the country code in the web interface it's working. Not over SSH. I need to do it over SSH.

Thanks

- You may need the no wireless country DE , to remove the not needed country codes ,

Not bad, this is working to go back to FR, but then it's not working to go back to DE again.

The purpose is to change remotely between several values so I need both directions.

Thanks

- Unclear that for me . I think you can also separate them with comma's when needing different country codes to be supported on the controller, however to check if there are no residual commands left over from previous attempts very with :
# show running-config | inc country

Make sure there is only a single line left over when comma's are used.

@Mark Elsen

Actually this displays:

ewc#show running-config | inc country
wireless country DE
wireless country GB
ap country FR

So not good. Let suppose I remove the not wanted country codes and I have one line only.

Then, if my understanding is correct I should do each time the following to change the country code over ssh:

wireless country <new country code>
no wireless country <old country code>

Correct ?

Previous sequence confirmed 🙂 This is working as expected.

Thanks @Mark Elsen

AP specific country is set on the AP directly (from CLI as in link above) and also can be set in the AP profile:
ap profile <profile-name>
country XX
