When you see the output of "show AP" you will see two columns:
- Channel
- Operating
Channel
The channel column stands for the channel an AP radio will come UP on, during boot-up time. The Operating Channel column stands for the channel the radio rests on post DFS scanning of the band. This can be different depending on the country and the environment.
