autogen-uniqueid

Profile Config Commands

Auto-generates a unique ID for devices using this profile. When executed in the device configuration mode, this command generates a unique ID for the logged device. A device‘s unique ID is a combination of a user-defined string (prefix, suffix, or both) and a substitution token. The WiNG implementation provides two built-in substitution tokens: $SN and $MiNT-ID that represent the device‘s serial number and MiNT-ID respectively. The value referenced by these substitution tokens are internally retrieved and combined with the user-defined string to auto generate a unique identity for the device.

The general format of this command is: <PREFIX><SUBSTITUTION-TOKEN><SUFFIX>. You can provide both (prefix and suffix) or just a prefix or suffix.

For example, given the following set of inputs:

user-defined prefix – TestAP505
substitution token – $SN

The unique ID is generated using TestAP505$SN, where $SN is replaced with the device‘s serial number.

When executed on an AP6522 (having serial number 1902W-2013400000), the autogen-uniqueid TestAP505$SN command generates the unique ID: TestAP5051902W-2013400000. When configured on an AP505 profile, all AP505s using the profile auto-generate a unique ID in which the device‘s serial number is preceded by the string ‘TestAP505‘.

Supported on the following devices:

Access Points: AP5010, AP310i/e, AP410i/e, AP505i, AP510i, AP510e, AP560i, AP6522, AP6562, AP7161, AP7502, AP7522, AP7532, AP7562, AP7602, AP7612, AP7622, AP763, AP7662, AP8163, AP8543, AP8533.

Syntax

autogen-uniqueid <WORD>

Parameters

autogen-uniqueid <WORD>


autogen-uniqueid <WORD>	Auto-generates a device‘s unique ID (not exceeding 64 characters in length) The ID generated is a combination of the text provided and the value referenced through the substitution token $SN or $MiNT-ID. Where ever the autogen-uniqueid is used the device‘s serial number OR MiNT-ID is referenced depending on the substitution token used. <WORD> – Specify a auto generate unique ID format using one of the following substitution tokens: Available tokens: $SN - references SERIAL NUMBER of the device $MINT-ID - references MINT-ID of the device For example, Test-$SN-TechPubs. In this example ‘Test‘ and ‘TechPubs‘ represent the user-defined prefix and suffix respectively. And $SN is the substitution token.
