Ready to Get Started?
If you know the four basic commands shown above (get, set, remove, and add) and how to get help at the
CLI using tab completion, you are ready to get started.
The best way to get up-to-speed quickly is to bring up the CLI on your AP and follow along with some
or all of the examples in the next topic “Command Usage and Configuration Examples”.
Command Usage and Configuration Examples
Understanding Interfaces as Presented in the CLI
The table of interface names below, is provided to help clarify the related CLI commands and output
results. These names are not exposed on the Web UI, but are used throughout the CLI. You get and set
many configuration values on the AP by referring to interfaces. In order to configure the AP through the
CLI, you need to understand which interfaces are available on the AP, what role they play
(corresponding setting on the Web UI), and how to refer to them.
The Management Interface is the interface used to manage the access point. It is the interface that has an
IP address assigned to it, and can be used for access to telnet, ssh, SNMP, the Web UI etc. Depending on
the configuration of the access point, the Management Interface can change. To determine which
interface is the management interface, use the command get management and look at the interface
property. The management class also provides easy access to get and set the properties of the
management interface, including its IP address.
Interface Description
lo Local loopback for data meant for the access point itself.
eth0 The primary wired (Ethernet) interface.
This interface may receive untagged or both tagged and untagged packets, depending on
the configuration. The packets may be bridged to wireless networks or used for
management
br0 The Internal bridge represents the Internal interface for the access point. br0 consists:
 eth0 (or vlanSomeNumber if you have VLANs configured)
 wlan0
 wlan1
brguest The Guest bridge, which consists of eth1 (or VLAN xxxx if you have VLANs
configured) and wlan0guest.
brtrunk The Trunk bridge. When VLANs are in use, bridges tag packets between the interfaces
that use them (eth0, wlan0wdsx).
brvlanxxxx The bridge interface for the management VLAN using VLAN ID xxxx. This is only used
when the management VLAN is not using an already existing bridge, for example, br0,
brvwnx, etc.
