Using CLI to Manage the Access Point
The Command Line Interface (CLI) is a primary interface that allows you to configure, manage and monitor the Access
Points. You can directly execute the CLI commands to manage the device.
•
CLI commands may be entered in real time through a keyboard or submitted with CLI scripts.
•
The CLI is available through both the Serial Port interface and over the Ethernet interface using Telnet.
NOTE: All CLI commands and parameters are case-sensitive.
This chapter describes the basic features of CLI and how to use them.
