Introduction to the CLI

The commands of the CLI are structured in a hierarchical set of contexts. Each context contains commands which relate to a specific type of function. For example, the radio1 context is a set of commands available for configuring operational parameters on the Radio1 radio of an access point. To configure default Radio1 parameters for AP3710s, you must move down from the root context through the ap, default, ap37xx, radio1 contexts (ap:defaults:ap37xx:radio1) to reach, set, and apply those parameters. To configure Radio1 parameters for a specific access point for which you know the ID (serial number), move down from the root context through the ap, <serial>, and radio1 contexts (ap:0409920200000000:radio1).
