Hybrid AP Channel Changes

By default, a hybrid AP only monitors the channel specified in its 802.11A or 802.11G radio profile for spectrum interference. If you want to change the channel monitored by a hybrid AP, you must edit the channel setting in those profiles. However, there are otherArubaOSfeatures that may automatically change the channels on hybrid APs. APs usingDFSDynamic Frequency Selection. DFS is a mandate for radio systems operating in the 5 GHz band to be equipped with means to identify and avoid interference with Radar systems.perform off-channel scanning to detect the presence of satellite and radar transmissions, and switch to a different channel if it detects that satellite or radar transmissions are present. APs using theARMAdaptive Radio Management. ARM dynamically monitors and adjusts the network to ensure that all users are allowed ready access. It enables full utilization of the available spectrum to support maximum number of users by intelligently choosing the best RF channel and transmit power for APs in their current RF environment.feature constantly monitor the network and automatically select the best channel and transmission power settings for that AP. If you manually change a channel monitored by a hybrid AP, best practices are to temporarily disableARMAdaptive Radio Management.

DFS is a mandate for radio systems operating in the 5 GHz band to be equipped with means to identify and avoid interference with Radar systems., that hybrid AP may automatically move to a different channel in response to changes in the network environment. If a hybrid AP changes channels while it is connected to a spectrum analysis client, the hybrid AP updates the graphs in the spectrum dashboard to start displaying spectrum data for the new channel, and sends a log message to the session log.
