Command Line Interface (CLI) for
Access Point Configuration
In addition to the web-based user interface, the AT-WA7400 Wireless
Access Point includes a command line interface (CLI) for administering the
access point. The CLI lets you view and modify status and configuration
information.
From the client station perspective, even a single deployed AT-WA7400
Wireless Access Point broadcasting its network name to clients constitutes
a wireless network. Keep in mind that CLI configuration commands, like
web UI settings, can affect a single access point running in standalone
mode or automatically propagate to a network of clustered access points
that share the same settings. (For more information on clustering, see
“Understanding Clustering” on page 44. For information on how to set an
access point to standalone or cluster mode from the web interface, see
“Cluster Mode” on page 46 and “Standalone Mode” on page 46.)
The following topics provide an introduction to the class structure upon
which the CLI is based, CLI commands, and examples of using the CLI to
get or set configuration information on an access point or cluster of access
points:
