Adjusting the regulatory domain of wlc and APs

[diwakar410]

We have 5 APs currently working on regulatory domain C. We are adding 5 more APs and a WLC which has come in another regulatory domain as per my boss, he says it is H. 

Will there be issues operating in 2 different domains?

What can i do for making each and every APs and controller in same domain?

Please help.

Hi

Refer this document for more details about regulatory domains

Which country you deploying this AP, I hope it is in china (based on the above doc). As long as that country code is configured on WLC you should be fine.

Will there be issues operating in 2 different domains?

If you configure two different country codes belong to two different regulatory domains (like Europe & America), then available channel & power level limited to lowest common value. 

In your case, I do not think you are configuring conflicting countries on your WLCs.

Thank you Rasika,

We are deploying in Nepal. As  there is no option of Nepal there so what do i do?

So as per what i read, there is no way to change regulatory domains in AP, i will have WLC then will the new APs and the one ones that i already have, perform correctly?

In that case you can go with country code as "china" where -C & -H AP should work.

Yes, there is no way to change regulatory domain of an AP,if it manufactured for a specific reg domain. Yes, those new AP & old AP should work without any problem.
