Command Line Interface (CLI) Variations

Command Line Interface (CLI) Variations
Administrators use the CLI to control Access Point operation and monitor network statistics. The AP supports two types
of CLI: the Bootloader CLI and the normal CLI. The Bootloader CLI provides a limited command set, and is used when
the current AP Image is bad or missing. The Bootloader CLI allows you to assign an IP Address and download a new
image. Once the image is downloaded and running, the Access Point uses the normal CLI. This guide covers the normal
CLI unless otherwise specified.

Bootloader CLI

The Bootloader CLI is a minimal subset of the normal CLI used to perform initial configuration of the AP. This interface is
only accessible via the serial interface if the AP does not contain a software image or a download image command over
TFTP has failed.
The Bootloader CLI provides you with the ability to configure the initial setup parameters as well as download a software
image to the device.
The following functions are supported by the Bootloader CLI:
• configuration of initial device parameters using the set command
• show command to view the device's configuration parameters
• help command to provide additional information on all commands supported by the Bootloader CLI
• reboot command to reboot the device
The parameters supported by the Bootloader CLI (for viewing and modifying) are:
• System Name
• IP Address Assignment Type
• IP Address
• IP Mask
• Gateway IP Address
• TFTP Server IP Address
• Image File Name (including the file extension)
