Accessing the SCALANCE W CLI
SCALANCE W supports the use of Command Line Interface (CLI) for scripting purposes.
When you make configuration changes on a master AP in the CLI, all associated APs in the
cluster inherit these changes and subsequently update their configurations. By default, you
can access the CLI from the serial port or from an SSH session. You must explicitly enable
Telnet access on the AP to access the CLI through a Telnet session.
For information on enabling SSH and Telnet access to the AP CLI, see Terminal access
(Page 81).
Connecting to a CLI Session
On connecting to a CLI session, the system displays its host name followed by the login
prompt. Use the administrator credentials to start a CLI session. For example:
User: admin
If the login is successful, the privileged command mode is enabled and a command prompt
is displayed. For example:
(scalance)#
The privileged EXEC mode provides access to show, clear, ping, traceroute, and commit
commands. The configuration commands are available in the config mode. To move from
Privileged EXEC mode to the Configuration mode, enter the following command at the
command prompt:
(scalance)# configure terminal
The configure terminal command allows you to enter the basic configuration mode and the
command prompt is displayed as follows:
(scalance)(config)#
The SCALANCE W CLI allows CLI scripting in several other subcommand modes to allow
the users to configure individual interfaces, SSIDs, access rules, and security settings.
You can use the question mark (?) to view the commands available in a privileged EXEC
mode, configuration mode, or subcommand mode.
Note
Although automatic completion is supported for some commands such as , the complete exit
and end commands must be entered at command prompt.
