Parameter Description Range Default
min-scan-time
Minimum number of times a channel
must be scanned before it is
considered for assignment. The
supported range for this setting is 0-
2,147,483,647 scans. Best practices
are to configure a Minimum Scan
Time between 1-20 scans.
Default: 8 scans

min-tx-power
Minimum effective isotropic radiated
power (EIRP) from 3 to 33 dBm in 3
dBm increments. You may also
specify a special value of 127 dBm for
regulatory minimum. This value takes
into account both radio transmit
power and antenna gain.
Higher power level settings may be
constrained by local regulatory
requirements and AP capabilities.

mode-aware
If enabled, ARM will turn APs into Air
Monitors (AMs) if it detects higher
coverage levels than necessary. This
helps avoid higher levels of
interference on the WLAN. Although
this setting is disabled by default, you
may want to enable this feature if
your APs are deployed in close
proximity (e.g. less than 60 feet
apart).
— disabled
multi-band-scan
When enabled, single-radio APs try to
scan across bands for rogue AP
detection.

ota-updates
The ota-updates option allows an AP
to get information about its
RFenvironment from its neighbors,
even the AP cannot scan. If this
feature is enabled, when an AP on the
network scans a foreign (non-home)
channel, it sends other APs an Over-
the-Air (OTA) update in an 802.11
management frame that contains
information about the scanning AP's
home channel, the current
transmission EIRP value of its home
channel, and one-hop neighbors seen
by that AP.
