Comparison of Settings Configurable with the CLI and Web
User Interface
The command line interface (CLI) and the Web User Interface to the Professional Access Point are
designed to suit the preferences and requirements for different types of users or scenarios. Most
administrators will probably use both interfaces in different contexts. Some features (such as Clustering)
can only be configured from the Web User Interface, and some details and more complex configurations
are only available through the CLI.
The CLI is particularly useful in that it provides an interface to which you can write programmatic scripts for
access point configurations. Also, the CLI may be less resource-intensive than a Web interface.
The following table shows a feature-by-feature comparison of which settings can be configured through the
CLI or the Web User Interface, and which are configurable with either.
