Managed AP Commands

Connect directly to a managed AP’s CLI (Command Line Interface) to configure the managed AP’s CAPWAP (Control And Provisioning of Wireless Access Points) client and DNS server settings.

43.1 Managed Series AP Commands Overview

Log into an AP’s CLI and use the commands in this chapter if the AP does not automatically connect to the NXC or you need to configure the AP’s DNS server. Use the CAPWAP client commands to configure settings to let the AP connect to the NXC. Use the DNS server commands to configure the DNS server address to which the AP connects. When the AP reboots, it only keeps the configuration from commands covered in this chapter.

43.2 Accessing the AP CLI

Connect to the AP’s console port and use a terminal emulation program or connect through the network using Telnet or SSH. The settings and steps for logging in are similar to connecting to the NXC. See Section 1.2 on page 15 for details.

The AP’s default login username is admin and password is 1234. The username and password are case-sensitive. If the AP has connected to the NXC, the AP uses the same admin password as the NXC.

Use the write command to save the current configuration to the NXC.

Always save the changes before you log out after each management session. All unsaved changes will be lost after the system restarts.
