Chapter 17 File Manager

These files have the same syntax, which is also identical to the way you run CLI commands manually. An example is shown below

#enter configuration mode configure terminal

#change administrator password

username admin password 4321 user-type admin

#configure default radio profile, change 2GHz channel to 11 & Tx output power

# to 50% wlan-radio-profile default 2g-channel 11 output-power 50%

exit write

While configuration files and shell scripts have the same syntax, the NWA3000-N series AP applies configuration files differently than it runs shell scripts. This is explained below.

You have to run the aforementioned example as a shell script because the first command is run in Privilege mode. If you remove the first command, you have to run the example as a configuration file because the rest of the commands are executed in Configuration mode.

Comments in Configuration Files or Shell Scripts

In a configuration file or shell script, use “#” or “!” as the first character of a command line to have the NWA3000-N series AP treat the line as a comment.

Your configuration files or shell scripts can use “exit” or a command line consisting of a single “!” to have the NWA3000-N series AP exit sub command mode.

Note: “exit” or “!'” must follow sub commands if it is to make the NWA3000-N series AP exit sub command mode.
