Using CLI to Set AP's Mode of Operation

About this task

To manually set the AP's mode of operation using its CLI:

Procedure

  1. Access the AP's CLI through SSH or console using default credentials.
    Use the AP's Primary or Secondary (ZEROCONF) IP address to do an SSH.
    Primary IP address - This is the DHCP provided IP address.

    For example:

    If AP's MAC address is: 00:C0:23:00:F0:0A

    The secondary IP address will be: 169.254.240.10
