401 | rf dot11a-radio-profile Dell PowerConnect ArubaOS 6.0 Command Line Interface | Reference Guide
Usage Guidelines
This command configures radios that operate in the 5 GHz frequency band, which includes radios utilizing the
IEEE 802.11a or IEEE 802.11n standard. Channels must be valid for the country configured in the AP regulatory
domain profile (see “ap regulatory-domain-profile” on page 108).
To view the supported channels, use the show ap allowed-channels command.
Examples
The following command configures APs to operate in AM mode for the selected dot11a-radio-profile named
“samplea:”
(host) (config) #rf dot11a-radio-profile samplea mode am-mode
spectrum-load-bal-
domain
Define a spectrum load balancing domain to manually
create RF neighborhoods.
Use this option to create RF neighborhood information for
networks that have disabled Adaptive Radio
Management (ARM) scanning and channel assignment.
z If spectrum load balancing is enabled in a 802.11a
radio profile but the spectrum load balancing domain
is not defined, ArubaOS uses the ARM feature to
calculate RF neighborhoods.
z If spectrum load balancing is enabled in a 802.11a
radio profile and a spectrum load balancing domain
is also defined, AP radios belonging to the same
spectrum load balancing domain will be considered
part of the same RF neighborhood for load balancing,
and will not recognize RF neighborhoods defined by
the ARM feature.

spectrum-load-
balancing
The Spectrum Load Balancing feature helps optimize
network resources by balancing clients across channels,
regardless of whether the AP or the controller is
responding to the wireless clients' probe requests.
If enabled, the controller compares whether or not an AP
has more clients than its neighboring APs on other
channels. If an AP’s client load is at or over a
predetermined threshold as compared to its immediate
neighbors, or if a neighboring Dell AP on another channel
does not have any clients, load balancing will be enabled
on that AP. This feature is disabled by default.
NOTE: The spectrum load balancing feature available in
ArubaOS 3.4.x and later releases completely replaces the
AP load balancing feature available in earlier versions of
ArubaOS. When you upgrade to ArubaOS 3.4.x or later,
you must manually configure the spectrum load
balancing settings, as the AP load balancing feature can
no longer be used, and any previous AP load balancing
settings will not be preserved.

tpc-power The transmit power advertised in the TPC IE of beacons
and probe responses. Range: 0-51 dBm
0-51 dBm 15 dBm
tx-power Sets the initial transmit power (dBm) on which the AP
operates, unless a better choice is available through
either calibration or from RF Plan.
This parameter can be set from 0 to 51 in .5 dBm
increments, or set to the regulatory maximum value of
127 dBm.
Transmission power may be further limited by regulatory
domain constraints and AP capabilities.
