COMMAND

DESCRIPTION

dcs 5g-selected-channel 5g_channels

Sets the channels that are available in the 5 GHz band

 

when you manually configure the channels an AP can

 

use.

 

 

dcs dcs-2g-method {automanual}

Sets the AP to automatically search for available

 

channels or manually configures the channels the AP

 

uses in the 2.4 GHz band.

 

 

dcs dcs-5g-method {automanual}

Sets the AP to automatically search for available

 

channels or manually configures the channels the AP

 

uses in the 5 GHz band.

 

 

dcs time-interval interval

Sets the interval that specifies how often DCS should run.

dcs sensitivity-level {high medium low}

Sets how sensitive DCS is to radio channel changes in

 

the vicinity of the AP running the scan.

dcs client-aware {enabledisable}

When enabled, this ensures that an AP will not change

 

channels as long as a client is connected to it. If disabled,

 

the AP may change channels regardless of whether it has

 

clients connected to it or not.

 

 

dcs channel-deployment {3-channel4-

Sets either a 3-channel deployment or a 4-channel

channel}

deployment.

 

In a 3-channel deployment, the AP running the scan

 

alternates between the following channels: 1, 6, and 11.

 

In a 4-channel deployment, the AP running the scan

 

alternates between the following channels: 1, 4, 7, and 11

 

(FCC) or 1, 5, 9, and 13 (ETSI).

 

Sets the option that is applicable to your region. (Channel

 

deployment may be regulated differently between

 

countries and locales.)

 

 

dcs dfs-aware {enabledisable}

Enables this to allow an AP to avoid phase DFS channels

 

below the 5 GHz spectrum.
