Ready to Get Started?

If you know the four basic commands shown above (get, set, remove, and add) and how to get help at the CLI using tab completion, you are ready to get started.

The best way to get up-to-speed quickly is to bring up the CLI on your AP and follow along with some or all of the examples in the next topic “Command Usage and Configuration Examples”.

Command Usage and Configuration Examples

Understanding Interfaces as Presented in the CLI

The table of interface names below, is provided to help clarify the related CLI commands and output results. These names are not exposed on the Web UI, but are used throughout the CLI. You get and set many configuration values on the AP by referring to interfaces. In order to configure the AP through the CLI, you need to understand which interfaces are available on the AP, what role they play (corresponding setting on the Web UI), and how to refer to them.

The Management Interface is the interface used to manage the access point. It is the interface that has an IP address assigned to it, and can be used for access to telnet, ssh, SNMP, the Web UI etc. Depending on the configuration of the access point, the Management Interface can change. To determine which interface is the management interface, use the command get management and look at the interface property. The management class also provides easy access to get and set the properties of the management interface, including its IP address.

Interface

Description

lo

Local loopback for data meant for the access point itself.

 

 

eth0

The primary wired (Ethernet) interface.

 

This interface may receive untagged or both tagged and untagged packets, depending on

 

the configuration. The packets may be bridged to wireless networks or used for

 

management

br0

The Internal bridge represents the Internal interface for the access point. br0 consists:

 

∙ eth0 (or vlanSomeNumber if you have VLANs configured)

 

∙

wlan0

 

∙

wlan1

 

 

brguest

The Guest bridge, which consists of eth1 (or VLAN xxxx if you have VLANs

 

configured) and wlan0guest.

 

 

brtrunk

The Trunk bridge. When VLANs are in use, bridges tag packets between the interfaces

 

that use them (eth0, wlan0wdsx).

 

 

brvlanxxxx

The bridge interface for the management VLAN using VLAN ID xxxx. This is only used

 

when the management VLAN is not using an already existing bridge, for example, br0,

 

brvwnx, etc.
