Enabling and Disabling World Mode
You can configure the wireless device to support 802.11d world mode, Cisco legacy world mode, or
world mode roaming. When you enable world mode, the wireless device adds channel carrier set
information to its beacon. Client devices with world mode enabled receive the carrier set information
and adjust their settings automatically. For example, a client device used primarily in Japan could rely
on world mode to adjust its channel and power settings automatically when it travels to Italy and joins a
network there. Cisco client devices detect whether the wireless device is using 802.11d or Cisco legacy
world mode and automatically use the world mode that matches the mode used by the wireless device.
You can also configure world mode to be always on. In this configuration, the access point essentially
roams between countries and changes its settings as required.
World mode is disabled by default.
To enable world mode, follow these steps, beginning in privileged EXEC mode.
