Exec Commands; Configuration Commands - Foundry Networks IronPoint 200 User Manual

Exec Commands

When you open a new console session on access point, the system enters Exec command mode.
Only a limited number of the commands are available in this mode. You can access all other
commands only from the configuration mode. To access Exec mode, open a new console session
with the user name "admin." The command prompt displays as "Foundry AP#" by default for Exec
mode.
Username: admin
Password: [system login password]
Foundry AP#

Configuration Commands

Configuration commands are used to modify access point settings. These commands modify the
running configuration and are saved in memory.
The configuration commands are organized into four different modes:
• Global Configuration (GC) - These commands modify the system level configuration, and include
commands such as username and password.
• Interface-Ethernet Configuration (IC-E) - These commands modify the Ethernet port
configuration, and include commands such as dns and ip.
• Interface-Wireless Configuration (IC-W) - These commands modify the wireless port
configuration of global parameters for the radio, and include commands such as channel and
transmit-power.
• Interface-Wireless Virtual Access Point Configuration (IC-W-VAP) - These commands modify the
wireless port configuration for each VAP, and include commands such as ssid and
authentication.
To enter the Global Configuration mode, enter the command configure in Exec mode. The system
prompt will change to "Foundry AP(config)#" which gives you access privilege to all Global
Configuration commands.
Foundry AP#configure
Foundry AP(config)#
To enter Interface mode, you must enter the "interface ethernet," or "interface wireless a," or
"interface wireless g" command while in Global Configuration mode. The system prompt will
change to "Foundry AP(if-ethernet)#," or "Foundry AP(if-wireless a)#," or "Foundry AP(if-wireless
g)#," indicating that you have access privileges to the associated commands. Note that each
wireless interface, for 802.11a and 802.11g, must be configured separately. You can use the exit
command to return to the Exec mode.
