Chapter 6 Using the Command-Line Interface

Understanding CLI Messages

Configuration commands can also have a default form. The default form of a command returns the command setting to its default. Most commands are disabled by default, so the default form is the same as the no form. However, some commands are enabled by default and have variables set to certain default values. In these cases, the default command enables the command and sets variables to their default values.

Understanding CLI Messages

Table 6-3lists some error messages that you might encounter while using the CLI to configure your access point/bridge.
