AMP Command Line Interface
About the Command Line Interface
W-AirWave provides a modular command line interface (CLI) that allows you to run a finite set of management
tools and configuration tasks. Some of these tasks include transferring files, enabling support connections,
enabling FIPS security, upgrading software, and configuring network interfaces.
CLI Access
A change introduced in W-AirWave 8.2.4 prevents the root user from being able to connect to the CLI. You can
access the CLI through an SSH connection by logging in to the W-AirWave server with the admin user created
when you install or upgrade your software to W-AirWave 8.2.4. For information about the admin user, see "Step
4: Checking the W-AirWave Installation" and "Upgrading the Software" in the W-AirWave 8.2.4 Installation Guide.
Custom Modules
W-AirWave provides a selection of custom modules that is available by customer support request.
To get the module key:
1. Log in to the CLI as the admin user.
2. Select 9 to open the Security menu.
3. Select 7 to get the module key. A message asks you to show or save the module key for later. If you choose to
save the module key, go to the next step.
4. Go back to the main menu and select 2 to download the module key to an SCPreachable destination.
5. Send module key to technical support.
6. After you receive the module, select 1 to upload the module.
7. Select 10 to add the module to your CLI custom modules menu.
How to Reset Your Password
If you forgot your password used to access the CLI, you can log in using the amprecovery credentials and reset
the password.
To reset your password:
1. From a local terminal, or the VM host console, log in to the CLI:
<AMP server> login: amprecovery
Password: recovery
2. Select 1 to change the OS password.
W-AirWave finds the users created after the AMP CLI installation and lists the users in the menu.
3. Select 1 to select the user.
CLI Options
Table 156 lists the CLI commands that are available in W-AirWave 8.2.4. If there are other important tasks that
you can't do from the CLI, contact technical support for help.
