At the Edge level, you can override the WI-FI Radio settings specified in the Profile by selecting the Enable Edge Override checkbox. Based on the Edge model and the country configured for the Edge, WI-FI Radio settings allow you to select a radio band and channel supported for the Edge.

To override the WI-FI Radio settings at the Edge level, perform the following steps.

Prerequisites

  • Before configuring the WI-FI radio band and channel for the Edge, it is important to set the correct country of operation for the Wi-fi radio, to conform to local requirements for Wi-fi transmission. Ensure that the correct country of operation for this edge is set in the Contact & Location section of the Edge Overview configuration page. The address is populated automatically after the Edge is activated; however, you can override the address manually, if needed.
    Note: The country should be specified using the 2-character ISO 3166-1-alpha-2 notation (for example, US, DE, IN, and so on.)

Procedure

  1. From the SD-WAN Orchestrator, go to Configure > Edges.
  2. Select an Edge you want to override WI-FI Radio settings and click the icon under the Device column.
    The Device Setting page for the selected Edge appears.
  3. In the Configure Segment drop-down menu, by default, Global Segment [Regular] is selected. If needed, you can select a different profile segment from the drop-down menu.
  4. Go to the WI-FI Radio Settings area and select the Enable Edge Override checkbox.
  5. Select a radio band from the Band of radio frequencies supported for the Edge.
  6. From the Channel drop-down menu, select a radio channel supported for the Edge.
    Note: The Band and Channel selectors display only the supported radio bands and channels for the configured location of the Edge.
  7. If you want to change the location of the Edge, click Go to Edge Overview to change edge location. The Edge Overview page for the selected Edge appears.
    1. Under Contact & Location area, click the Update Location link to set the Edge location and click Save Changes.
  8. Click Save Changes. The WI-FI Radio settings are overridden for the selected Edge.
    Note: If a country is not set for the edge or the country is invalid, then the radio Band is set to 2.4 GHz and Channel is set to Automatic.
