if the hardware you have has one radio than maybe but you would get different error not ' interface name is not supported'.
Can you provide us with the name you are trying to use that is causing you that error? Also please provide the output of CLI command ' show wireless radio'

NET-WiFi(config-profile-defaultap6521)#interface radio ?
1 Radio interface 1
2 Radio interface 2
3 Radio interface 3

NET-WiFi(config-profile-defaultap6521)#interface radio 2
% Error: Interface name/type [radio2] is not supported

if in profile-defaultap6521 set radio1 to 5GHz
ap6521-E9D13F:R1 5C-0E-8B-F1-FA-80 5GHz-wlan On 36 ( smt) 20 (smt) 7

if in profile-defaultap6521 set radio1 to 2.4GHz
ap6521-E9D13F:R1 5C-0E-8B-F1-FA-80 2.4GHz-wlan On 1 ( smt) 24 (smt) 7

The AP6521 APs can only have one radio on at a time. From GUI you can clearly see under Wireless that only one radio can be selected at a time. The 1 in AP6521 refers to single radio.

There is no Interface radio 2 on this unit, you can either set interface radio 1 to 2.4GHz or 5GHz, but not both.

Thank you,

Chris
