In the CLI
The following example enables the Activate whitelist service on the controller. The add-only parameter allows
only the addition of entries to the Activate remote AP whitelist database. This parameter is enabled by default.
If this setting is disabled, the activate-whitelist-download command can both add and remove entries from the
Activate database.
(host)(config)# activate-service-whitelist
(host)(activate-service-whitelist) #username user2 password pA$$w0rd whitelist-enable
(host)(activate-service-whitelist)add-only
The following command is available in enable mode, and prompts the controller to synchronize its remote AP
whitelist with the associated whitelist on the Activate server:
(host)# activate whitelist download
Downloadable Regulatory Table
The downloadable regulatory table feature allows for the update of country domain options without
upgrading the ArubaOS software version. A separate file, called the Regulatory-Cert, containing AP regulatory
information will be released periodically on download.dell-pcw.com. The Regulatory-Cert file can then be
uploaded to a controller and pushed to deployed APs.
The Regulatory-Cert includes the following information for each AP:
l All countries supported in the current release of ArubaOS (not just United States or Rest of World or any
subset of countries)
l Allowed channels for each country
l Max EIRP for each channel and each country in the allowed list. The max values are specified for each PHY-
type at which the AP is allowed to transmit on. The classified PHY-types are
n 802.11 OFDM rates (802.11a/g mode)
n 802.11b rates (CCK rates)
n 802.11n HT20 and 802.11ac VHT20 rates (MCS0-7)
n 802.11n HT20 and 802.11ac VHT40(MCS0-7)
n 802.11ac VHT80 rates
l DFS functionality for each channel and each country in the allowed list
Important Points to Remember
l When a Regulatory-Cert is activated, the new file is checked against the default file built into ArubaOS. If the
file is of a newer version, the activation is allowed. If the file is of a lower version, then the activation is not
completed. The controller's CLI displays the following message upon failure:
(host0) #ap regulatory activate reg-data-1.0_00002.txt
Failed to activate regulatory file reg-data-1.0_00002.txt. File Version should be greater
than 1.0_43859
l APs do not rebootstrap or reboot on activation.
