ap Commands

This chapter describes commands required to manage the basic functions of the Wireless APs on the system. The commands in this chapter are under the ap context of the CLI.

All CLI commands cache changes. For this reason, sometimes when you make a change in a particular context, the change may not be visible immediately. If this happens, you must exit and re-enter the context in order to ensure that the database is synchronized with the latest change.

There are many configurable parameters pertaining to wireless access points. Some commands are common to all AP contexts and some apply only to specific AP contexts. To avoid repetition and confusion, this chapter on AP configuration is organized into the following sections:

• ap Context

  Lists and describes commands available in the ap: context. The ap: context is the highest-level context for AP configuration. Commands for configuration of specific AP models (such as 11n or 37xx) are located in the defaults: context, and commands for configuration of individual APs (by serial number) are located in the <serial>: context.

• Radio Commands

  Radio commands, which are common to all APs (but vary from one AP type to another, and from Radio1 to Radio2) are listed and described in the Radio Commands section.

• DCS Commands

  DCS commands, all of which are common to some radio command contexts, are in the DCS Commands section.

• Serial Commands

  Serial commands, in the ap <serial>: context, are commands for configuring a specific Wireless AP (by serial number).
