Regulatory Compliance (Rest of the World) for Domain Reduction

Regulatory compliance domain

A regulatory domain is a set of country-specific rules that

  • are designed for use in multiple countries with varying regulatory requirements

  • enables you to specify a particular country of operation, such as FR for France or ES for Spain, and

  • ensures that each radio’s broadcast frequency bands, interfaces, channels, and transmit power levels comply with country-specific regulations.

This feature reduces the number of regulatory domains by updating the pre-provisioned domains workflow. It determines the regulatory domain at runtime for each country code. The new Rest of World (RoW) domain includes the nine earlier domains. Each AP selects its regulatory domain from these options by referencing the regulated power table and allowed radio channels.

The transmission power value in the TPC IE of the beacon may differ from the AP's transmission power value, value by up to 2 dB. You can check this difference by using the show controllers dot11radio command. The maximum allowed deviation in the TPC IE of the beacon is two dB.
