Configuring Auto-RF

Auto-RF overview

The Auto-RF feature dynamically assigns channel and power settings to AP radios, and adjusts those settings when
needed. Auto-RF can perform the following tasks:
Assign initial channel and power settings when an AP radio is started.
Periodically assess the RF environment and change the channel or power settings if needed.
By default, Auto-RF is enabled for channel configuration and disabled for power configuration.

Note. Auto-RF of channels on 802.11a radios uses only the bottom eight channels in the
band (36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, and 64). To use a higher channel number, you must
disable Auto-RF of channels on the radio profile the radio is in, and statically configure the
channel.
