Country Codes - WLC

Hello,
When selecting country codes on a WLC - what exactly is this doing in the background? Does it prevent certain APs from being able to connect to the WLC. Are certain standards disabled etc..? I know it's just a tick box, but really want to understand what happens in the background.
Thanks

Hi GRANT,
Normally country code specify a particular country of operation (such as DE for Germany or US for America). Each country code ensures that each radio’s broadcast frequency bands, interfaces, channels, and transmit power levels are compliant with country-specific regulations.

WLC 5508 multiple country codes, limitations

Hi CSC,
Currently we are running 2x 5508 (7.2.111.3) in our Regional DC and all AP's from APAC are connected in H-REAP mode.
On each WLC the following country codes are configured:
Configured Country Code(s):
CN, ID, IN, J2, J3, J4, JP, KE, KR, PH, PH2, TH, TW
Regulatory Domain:
802.11a: -ACEJKNPTU
802.11bg: -ACEJP
We have some sites (mainly China), which facing issues on WLAN recently (slow performance, weak signal..etc.
RF & power level are 'managed' by WLC.
After reviewieing some sites with our vendor, the feedback to improve stability/perfromace, was to either run just 1 country code/WLC..or set RF/power level manually for each AP. (which of course would be an admin nightmare!!)
I havent found the same information on cisco.com & thought connecting AP's from different country's to the same WLC works well (incl. having the WLC manage power/rf)?
Are there any limitations, when having multiple country codes on same WLC?
Appreciate your feedback.
Thanks,
Stefan

As far as I remember, every AP with a different country code have different permissible level of power and a regulatory authority board monitors these. So in case you wanna mix the AP with different codes, it will choose the ones with lower power level and operate which might not be to your advantage since the users might want to operate at higher power level. So, you can find out the permissible level of Transmission power and group AP with same level together and get another WLC. Also, run a site survey to check for interference. Might help

Wlc 5508 multiple country codes + mesh ap

Hello,
Currently my solution consist of two 5508 controllers and several non-mesh and few mesh AP (2600) running in flexconnect mode in one single site in europe.
Everything is going fine.
However there is going to be a new site in Canada.
I found some documentation saying that multiple country code is not available for mesh ap. Mesh ap are not going to join controller if multiple country code configured . but all this documentation is regarding version 7.2 and older.
Im running version 7.4.100.0 and on configuration guide I don't find anything related to that.
Am I going to have problems with this as well?
If yes, what is the recommendation solution for this situation?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

They do support multiple country code, but with regulations, the WLC will use the common channels and power for each of the countries you have defined. Now this will never change so its still best to have separate WLC per country if possible. Especially with mesh since the backhaul is on the 5ghz, this is really your limitation is you have AP's in a country where there is no allowed 5ghz or a minimum number of allowed channels.

WLC 2125 - Country code selection

WLC Mode: AIR-WLC2125-K9
Version: 7.0.116.0
Here is the scenario, we have two WLC, one is located at SG and the other is located at MY (In test stage).
Both WLC has configured with three Country Codes CN,MY and SG , as well as the Regulatory Domain 802.11a -CS and 802.11bg -ACE).
Yesterday we did perform WLC failover test and it was successful but we noticed some of the APs country code are incorrect set as before, we are tried into the AP config, and pull up the Advanced Tab and select the Country where the AP is physically located but the weird issue happened whereby there are only one country code available and the other two country code are missing.
Here is the AP model we used.
AIR-LAP1142N-N-K9 (CN)
AIR-LAP1242AG-S-K9 (SG and MY)
Could someone help to advise what would be the cause how to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advanced.

With the -E there are many profiles that can be selected, as most tend to be very close to the same restrictions.
However I would contact your local regulatory domain group and ask them which country is the same as Mongolia. Explain what you are doing and have them tell you, and get it in writing. that way you are covered on your choice.

WLC country code list

Guys,
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/wireless/ps5679/ps5861/product_data_sheet0900aecd80537b6a.html#wp9005314
Cisco's Wireless LAN Compliance Status displays my country Mongolia as -E and says its compliant. So I'm assuming we need to purchase LAPs with -E as the regulatory domain, eg: AIR-CAP3502I-E-K9.
But on WLC, I'm not able to choose Mongolia as the country because it is not listed there. Does anyone know the full list of country codes that we can use on WLC? Is that list more than what WLC shows us or just same as the list on WLC?
If I'm not able to choose Mongolia as the country, selecting another country with -E domain will make my LAPs work?
Any comment is appreciated.
Thanks,Delgee

Can Local Mode Cisco Mesh APs (1522/1552) be supported in a Multiple country code 5508 WLC?

I've read previous discussions (i.e., "wlc 5508 multiple country codes + mesh ap") on this forum that stated Mesh APs can't be supported on a WLC set-up with more than one country code configured. If you have Outdoor APs which are set-up for local mode only, and not used in a Mesh wireless architecture (using Mesh Beacons), will this apply as well? I don't know if there are any caveats to this. Or if Cisco 1522/1552 APs can't be supported on a WLC using more than one country code period, regardless for how they are used, since they are considered Mesh APs. Another question, can a WLC support two regions (Region E and Region A), in a two country code assignment? I've read on the forum the downfalls for using more than one country code on a WLC, so understand that it will use the lowest common denominator settings (i.e., power, channels) for operation, so this isn't ideal.
I want to stick to one controller using one country code only. This isn't something I want to do, but we had an issue with an order being processed for APs, which resulted in the wrong region APs being delivered by a vendor, and leadership is exploring alternative options. So, the above is worst case scenario planning if we can't swap the APs back for some legal reason, or if it takes too long to accomplish. We could always purchase a smaller WLC with a license size to support only the different region APs purchased if it comes to it.

Hi,
As per my experience, Normal APs(Local Mode) can work with multiple Country Code .
WLC can support multiple country code but it's a bad idea to have it. Only common channel, power will allowed.
Best is to buy a 2504WLC and use it.

Change country code for Montenegro from XM to ME

Hi Everybody,
Could You please somebody advice, whether You have any experiance with changing existing country code in SAP? I need to change it in all tables in for Montenegro.
What should be a good approach to start with?
Do You think that SLO service provided by SAP is a good idea for this?
Is there any OSS note how to deal with this complex change?
Thank You in advance,
Martin

802.11a network not supported for this Country Code

Hi, I get the following error whne enabling 802.11a network on a AIR-WLC2106-K9. Country is set to ID (Indonesia)
>config 802.11a enable network
802.11a network not supported for this Country Code
Yet, on a AIR-CT2504-K9, set to same country code there is no problem.
Is this a WLC model or version issue? WLC2106 is on version 6.0.199.4 while the CT2504 is 7.0.220.0
Andrew

Well is it the only country code selected? Also you might as well upgrade the 2106 to 7.0.x and move off the 6.0.x. Since your 2604 is at that code you might as well upgrade the 2106 and see. I'm guessing that you have the same APs and the APs are for that country.

Japanese country code for 1550 AP

We have an existing deployment into which we would like to add a 1550 outdoor AP. The current inventory is as follows:
5508 WLC, version 7.4.110.0
Several AIR-LAP1262N-Q-K9 APs, country code J2.
Several AIR-LAP1602I-Q-K9 APs, country code J4.
The WLC is currently set up for multiple countries, J2 & J4, however, the 1550 will not associate with a multi-country controller. According to the WLC documentation it is possible to migrate the 1262 APs to J3(-U domain) yet the same document also states 1550 APs require J4. Is there a solution for this set of APs in the Japanese regulatory domain?
Thank you,
Jason Valenzuela

Hi ,
your AP have AIR-LAP1142N-P-K9.(P Reguletry domain).
Only One laptop is diconnecting or may others have the same problem of disconnection??
You can enable 2P mode on WLC and test, if still problem persists then plz paste the debug output from AP.

Am I able to integrate all to new 8510. In that case What country code I will use?
OR Do I need to keep different WLCs for each AP type
Thanks and Regards
Deva

In order for the WLC to be able to manage the LAP, the LAP should discover the controller and register with the WLC. There are different methods that an LAP uses in order to discover the WLC. For detailed information on the different methods the LAPs use to register to the WLCs, refer to Lightweight AP (LAP) Registration to a Wireless LAN Controller (WLC)
This document describes the configuration steps needed to register the LAP to the WLC and for basic operation of the LWAPP wireless network.

Upgrade of 1131AG to LWAPP fails. "Invalid country code ()"

Hi all,
I have problems upgrading my 1131 Autonomous to LWAPP to be used towards an WLC 4402.
I have used the Upgrade tool and tried with 2 different versions of the Cisco recovery image on 2 different 1131 hardware boxes.
The upgrade seeems to go ok all the way. It downloads the image, reboot, connects to our WLC and starts the download of latest image from the WLC.
But at next restart it won't connect.
Version of WLC is 4.2.130. WLC is accepting self signed certs from AP's.
The WLC has 8 functioning AP's connected. These AP's where LWAPP from start though.
The WLC gives me the following errors when running debug:

Seems like the AP is not sending a Country code at all "Invalid country code ()."
The WLC and AP's are in different countries (Sweden and Belgium), but that has been prepared for in the WLC which accept both.
Any ideas?

Solved.

How can I use iCloud-keychain if i can not find my country in the country code list?

How can I use iCloud-keychain if i can not find my country in the country code list?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your country code does not appear in the list…
Go to System Preferences > iCloud > Keychain and enter your Apple ID password (Settings > iCloud > Keychain, from a mobile device)
Select the ‘Create Different Code’ option. (Mobile devices only)
Select the advanced option and choose whether to create a random code or no code, selecting the later allows syncing across devices but not with Apple’s servers.

Satellite L750D - Cannot register warranty due to country code

Unsure if this is an appropriate question BUT...
I am trying to register my L750D Notebook for warranty and it will not accept my country code.
I live in Australia so the country code is 61. I live in South Australia - code 8 and my phone number is 83xxxxxx.
So I have tried to put the code in as 61 then 8 then 83xxxxxx but it will not accept it.
Would anyone know what I am doing wrong?
I have also tried about 30 other ways of doing it?
Kind regards
Felicity,

Hi mate
Did you try to register the warranty on the right Toshiba page?

CUCM 8.6.2 Generating CSRs With Incorrect Country Code

Hi folks, I'm running CUCM 8.6.2.25900-8 on a single cluster (1x pub, 4x sub). My CA certs for the tomcat service are due to expire shortly so I've generated CSRs for all the servers and submitted them to our provider. All but one of the requests went through with no issues but one failed because the CSR specified a country code of 'US'. We are in the UK and the four other servers all generated CSRs specifying C=GB.
Examining the current tomcat cert or issuing "show web-security" on the command-line of the server who's CSR failed also show 'C=GB'
Looking at the 'set web-security' command it appears that I cannot change the country code.
Why is the server generating CSRs with 'C=US'?
How do I change this behaviour such that they are generated with 'C=GB' instead?

Surprisingly, it has made it all the way to 10.5(x) with the same info and the same error...
I did found a method to change it via root access, and you might not require root access, but I can't tell for sure as I would need to look at exactly what the contents of the file that TAC changes, but apparently it's just the platformConfig.xml that they need to change and reboot.
If that's the case, using the utils import config using pretty much all the same info, except the country, would end up with the same outcome.
Again, not 100% sure but theory says that should do the trick, you can run that thru TAC if you open the case and see what they think about it.
