Set the controller's regulatory anchor to DE, build a 2.4GHz RF profile (RF24-CORP — channels 1, 6, 11; tx-power 5–18 dBm) and a 5GHz profile (RF5-CORP — channels 36, 40, 44, 48; tx-power 8–20 dBm), then bind both into RF tag RF-EU.

Scenario
Slice B let you bind an RF tag to an AP — but the tag itself was a placeholder. Slice C fills in the *content* of an RF tag: per-band RF profiles that decide tx-power, allowed channels, and which radios actually transmit. Two layers of country code: - wireless country CC at global config sets the controller-wide regulatory anchor. It's the default for any AP that joins without a more specific binding. - country CC inside an ap profile sub-mode (Slice A) overrides per-AP-profile. RF profile structure (sub-mode entered by ap dot11 BAND rf-profile NAME): `` ap dot11 24ghz rf-profile <name> description <text> tx-power min <db> max <db> ! 1..30 dBm; min ≤ max channel <list> ! comma- or space-separated shutdown / no shutdown ! born enabled ` Same shape for 5ghz and 6ghz. Profiles with the same name but different bands coexist ((band, name) is the primary key). RF tag bindings (inside wireless tag rf NAME): ` wireless tag rf <name> 24ghz-rf-policy <profile-name> 5ghz-rf-policy <profile-name> 6ghz-rf-policy <profile-name> `` Each band's binding is independent — you can mix-and-match. Why three bands? 6GHz is the Wi-Fi 6E band. Without a 6GHz RF profile binding, APs that have a 6GHz radio fall back to controller defaults; with one, you can pin specific channels (helpful in regulatory zones where DFS is required, like ETSI 5GHz).
