Fortress Bridge: Command-Line Interface
88
The sample output for the
show radio
command (at the
beginning of this section) shows the default radio settings.
As shown in the example interactive
set radio
output,
reconfiguring radio settings requires that you reboot the Bridge
in order to effect your changes.
The
show radio
and
set radio
commands are valid only in AP
(access point) mode (refer to Section 6.1.1 for more detail).
6.4.3.1 Virtual Radio Interface Settings in the CLI
The Bridge CLI AP mode uses a submenu of commands to
view and configure virtual radio interfaces settings, otherwise
known as virtual access points (VAPs).
Use the
vapcfg
command to access these commands. You
must specify the radio associated with the virtual interface(s)
you want to configure with the
vapcfg
command (the CLI will
prompt you for a radio number if you do not enter it with the
command).
[AP]> vapcfg radio 1
[VAP]>
The command prompt (
VAP
) reflects the fact that you are in
VAP-configuration mode.
The
vapcfg
command is valid only in AP mode. So in order to
access the VAP command set for the other radio, you must
return to AP mode and re-enter the
vapcfg
command. This is
illustrated in the output of the
show
command below. Use the
show
command to view the current virtual radio interface
configuration:
[AP]>
vapcfg radio 1
[VAP]> show vap
