Command History

Usage Guidelines With world mode enabled, the access point advertises the local settings, such as allowed frequencies and

transmitter power levels. Clients with this capability then passively detect and adopt the advertised world

settings, and then actively scan for the best access point. Cisco client devices running firmware version

5.30.17 or later detect whether the access point is using 802.11d or Cisco legacy world mode and

automatically use world mode that matches the mode used by the access point.

Examples This example shows how to enable 802.11d world mode operation:

AP(config-if)# world-mode dot11d country-code TH both

This example shows how to disable world mode operation:

AP(config-if)# no world-mode dot11d

dot11d country_code code

{both | indoor | outdoor}

Enables 802.11d world mode.

• When you enter the dot11d option, you must enter a two-character

ISO country code (for example, the ISO country code for the United

States is US). You can find a list of ISO country codes at the ISO

website.

• After the country code, you must enter indoor, outdoor, or both to

indicate the placement of the access point.

legacy Enables Cisco legacy world mode.
