3.5.3.7 Using CLI Commands
AP Mode Configuration
The following will configure a basic access point with an SSID of somessid running in 802.11g mode to
verify connectivity:
% set interfaces interface Wi-Fi wifi-config mode access-point ap-config operation-mode
80211g ap somessid
% show interfaces interface Wi-Fi wifi-config | details
mode access-point;
tx-power 15;
ap-config {
ap somessid {
broadcast-ssid
true;
station-max 7;
station-timeout 300;
beacon-interval 100;
privacy-mode none;
vlan-mode none;
}
channel
6;
operation-mode 80211g;
dtim-period 2;
rts-threshold 2347;
fragm-threshold 2346;
}
Privacy Mode Configuration via CLI
The default privacy mode is wpa2-personal . (The privacy mode in the previous example was set to
none
.) The following configures the unit to use WPA2-Personal security with the default of CCMP/AES
encryption and disables the broadcasting of the SSID.
% set interfaces interface Wi-Fi wifi-config ap-config ap somessid broadcast-ssid false privacy-
mode wpa2-personal psk-config psk somepassphrase encryption ccmp
% show interfaces interface Wi-Fi wifi-config | details
mode access-point;
tx-power 15;
ap-config {
ap somessid {
broadcast-ssid
false;
station-max 7;
station-timeout 300;
beacon-interval 100;
privacy-mode wpa2-personal;
