Understanding Interfaces as Presented in the CLI
The following summary of interface names is provided to help clarify the related CLI commands and output
results. These names are not exposed on the Web User Interface, but are used throughout the CLI. You
get and set many configuration values on the access point by referring to interfaces. In order to configure
the access point through the CLI, you need to understand which interfaces are available on the access
point, what role they play (corresponding setting on the Web User Interface), and how to refer to them.
Interface
Description
lo
Local loopback for data meant for the access point itself.
eth0
The wired (Ethernet) interface for the Internal network.
br0
The Internal bridge represents the Internal interface for the access point. To telnet
or ssh into the access point, use the IP address for this interface.
br0 consists:
• eth0 (or vlan
SomeNumber
if you have VLANs configured)
• wlan0
The IP address of the access point is provided in the output detail for br0. So, a
useful command is
