Command Line Interface (CLI) Variations
Administrators use the CLI to control Access Point operation and monitor
network statistics. The AP supports two types of CLI: the Bootloader CLI
and the normal CLI. The Bootloader CLI provides a limited command set,
and is used when the current AP Image is bad or missing. The Bootloader
CLI allows you to assign an IP Address and download a new image. Once
the image is downloaded and running, the Access Point uses the normal
CLI. This guide covers the normal CLI unless otherwise specified.
Bootloader CLI
The Bootloader CLI is a minimal subset of the normal CLI used to perform
initial configuration of the AP. This interface is only accessible via the
serial interface if the AP does not contain a software image or a download
image command over TFTP has failed.
The Bootloader CLI provides you with the ability to configure the initial
setup parameters as well as download a software image to the device.
The following functions are supported by the Bootloader CLI:
• configuration of initial device parameters using the set command
• show command to view the device’s configuration parameters
• help command to provide additional information on all commands
supported by the Bootloader CLI
• reboot command to reboot the device
