interface-config-radio-instance
Configures the radio‘s RF mode of operation
This command sets the mode to either 2.4 GHz WLAN or 5.0 GHz WLAN support depending on the radio‘s intended client support. If you are currently licensed to use 4.9 GHz, configure the 4.9 GHz-WLAN option.
Set the mode to sensor if using the radio for rogue device detection. The radio cannot support rogue detection when one of the other radios is functioning as a WIPS sensor. To set a radio as a detector, disable sensor support on the other access point radios.

| rf-mode | Configures the radio‘s RF mode of operation |
| 2.4GHz-wlan | Provides WLAN service in the 2.4 GHz bandwidth |
| 4.9GHz-wlan | Provides WLAN service in the 4.9 GHz bandwidth |
| 5GHz-wlan | Provides WLAN service in the 5.0 GHz bandwidth |
| bridge | Enables this
radio to operate as client bridge that can authenticate and associate to a
defined infrastructure Wireless LAN (WLAN) access point Note: This option is
applicable only on the AP6522, AP6562, AP7522, AP7532, and AP7562 model
access points. Enable this option only if the access point is to provide
client-bridge support. Once enabled, configure the client-bridge
parameters. For more information, see bridge.

| scan-ahead | Enables this
radio to operate as a scan-ahead radio A radio functioning in the scan-ahead mode is used for forward scanning only. The radio does not support WLAN or mesh services. The scan ahead feature is used in DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) aware countries for infrastructure devices, static, and VMMs (vehicular mounted modems). It enables a secondary radio to scan ahead for an active channel for backhaul transmission, in the event of a radar trigger on the primary radio. The device then switches radios allowing transmission to continue. This is required in environments where handoff is required and DFS triggers are common. With a secondary radio dedicated for forward scanning, the primary radio, in case of radar hit, hands over the CAC (channel availability check) function to the secondary radio. This avoids a break in data communication, which would have resulted if the primary radio was to do CAC itself. The secondary radio periodically does a scan of the configured channel list, searching for the other available meshpoint roots. When configured on the root meshpoint, the scan-ahead feature also scans for cleaner channels. |
