Chapter 10: SmartPath Operating System (OS)
10.2 Configuration Overview
The amount of configuration depends on the complexity of your deployment. As you can see in "Deployment Examples (CLI)"
in Chapter 11, you can enter a minimum of three commands to deploy a single SmartPath AP, and just a few more to deploy a
cluster.
However, for cases when you need to fine tune access control for more complex environments, SmartPathOS offers a rich set of
CLI commands. The configuration of SmartPath APs falls into two main areas: Device-Level Configurations (Section 10.2.1) and
Policy-Level Configurations (Section 10.2.2). Consider your deployment plans and then refer to the following sections for guidance
on the commands you need to configure them.
NOTE: To find all commands using a particular character or string of characters, you can do a search using the following
command: show cmds | { include | exclude } string
10.2.1 Device-Level Configurations
Device-level configurations refer to the management of a SmartPath AP and its connectivity to wireless clients, the wired network,
and other cluster members. The following list contains some key areas of device-level configurations and relevant commands.
• Management
• Administrators, admin authentication method, login parameters, and admin privileges
admin { auth | manager-ip | min-password-length | read-only | read-write |
root-admin } ...
• Logging settings
log { buffered | console | debug | facility | flash | server | trap } ...
• Connectivity settings
- Interfaces
interface { eth0 | wifi0 | wifi1 } ...
• Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding routes
route mac _ addr ...
ip route { default | host | net } ip _ addr ...
• VLAN assignments
For users:
user-profile string qos-policy string vlan-id number attribute number
For the mgt0 interface (the native VLAN in the surrounding network, and the VLAN for administrative access, management
traffic, and control traffic among cluster members):
interface mgt0 native-vlan number
interface mgt0 vlan number
• Radio settings
radio profile string ...
10.2.2 Policy-Level Configurations
Policies control how wireless clients access the network. The following list contains some key areas of policy-level configurations
and relevant commands.
• QoS settings
