Fortress Bridge: Command-Line Interface
89
By default a single virtual access point (vap 1) is configured for
each radio. The SSIDs associated with these two primary
VAPs should never be left at their defaults (shown above).
SSID strings can be up to 32 characters long.
Configure VAP settings interactively by entering the set
command with just the vap <N> argument, where N is the VAP
number. The Bridge CLI presents one field at a time, and you
can either enter a new value for a given field or strike Enter↵ to
leave the value unchanged and go on to the next field.
You can reconfigure existing VAPs with the set command:
[VAP]>
set vap 1
SSID [String <= 32] (Base-11g):
0123xyz
[OK]
DTIM [1-255] (1):
Hide SSID [on|off] (off):
RTS Threshold [off|1-2345] (off):
Frag Threshold [off|256-2345] (off):
Only 11g [on|off] (off):
Security Suite [? for options] (fortress):
Committing changes...
Reboot is required. [Y|N]?
You can also use the set command interactively to configure
the same parameters for new VAPs.
Entering a dot (
.
) at the SSID prompt clears the SSID string.
The Security Suite field will accept any of eleven possible
entries, and the differing parameters required for each are
presented interactively once you have entered your selection.
The CLI provides a list of possible Security Suite options
when a question mark (
?
) is entered for the field. (Security
Suite options and the parameters required to configure them
are described in detail in Section 3.3.4).
