radio-mode

Function

The radio-mode command sets the radio mode of an AP.

The undo radio-mode command restores the default radio mode for an AP.

The default radio modes of different AP models are as follows:

AirEngine 8760-X1-PRO: 5G enhanced dual-radio mode
AirEngine 6760-X1, AirEngine 6760-X1E, and AirEngine 5760-51:
- No RTU license loaded: standard dual-radio mode
- RTU license loaded: dual-radio + independent scanning radio
AirEngine 8760R-X1 and AirEngine 8760R-X1E: 2G enhanced dual-radio mode

This function will be available for APs in later versions. Currently, it can be executed on the AC but does not take effect.

Format

radio-mode { 2radio-standard | 2radio-2g-enhanced | 2radio-5g-enhanced | 2radio-independent-scan | 3radio }

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Value
2radio-standard	Specifies the standard dual-radio mode.	-
2radio-2g-enhanced	Specifies the 2G enhanced dual-radio mode. The 2G radio in this mode provides a larger capacity than the standard mode.	-
2radio-5g-enhanced	Specifies the 5G enhanced dual-radio mode. The 5G radio in this mode provides a larger capacity than the standard mode.	-
2radio-independent-scan	Specifies the dual-radio+independent scanning radio mode.	-
3radio	Specifies the three-radio mode.	-

Usage Guidelines

When air interface resources are sufficient, you can set the AP to work in three-radio mode to increase the capacity. When air interface resources are insufficient, interference is severe, or APs are densely deployed, the dual-radio mode is recommended to reduce interference.

When the radio mode is switched, services on all radios of the AP are interrupted.

To view the radio types supported by an AP, run the display ap-type command. If the radio mode delivered by the AC is not supported by the AP, the default mode supported by the AP is delivered.

Example

# Set the radio mode of the AP to standard dual-radio mode.
