CCESSING THE
CLI
When accessing the management interface either over a direct connection to the
console port, or via a Telnet connection, the access point can be managed by
entering command keywords and parameters at the prompt. Using the access
point’s command-line interface (CLI) is very similar to entering commands on a
UNIX system.

To access the access point through the console port, perform these steps:
1. At the console prompt, enter the user name and password. (The default user
name is “admin” and the default password is “password”) When the user
name is entered, the CLI displays the “AP #” prompt.
2. Enter the necessary commands to complete your desired tasks.
3. When finished, exit the session with the “exit” command.
After connecting to the system through the console port, the login screen
displays:
Username: admin
Password:

NOTE:
Command examples shown later in this chapter abbreviate the console
prompt to “AP” for simplicity.
