Command Line Interface (CLI)
Overview
The cnPilot Enterprise AP supports a powerful and structured Command Line Interface (CLI) that
can be used for managing the device over SSH or Telnet.
The CLI can be used to configure any system parameter, to view the system status and statistics,
and for actions such as reloading the device, or importing and exporting configuration from it.
Several troubleshooting tools such as packet-capture and ping are also supported in the CLI.
The CLI is hierarchical, in addition to a global mode for system-wide commands, there are
separate modes for Wireless LAN, Radio, Etherent, VLAN, and DHCP server configuration. These
specific modes are entered by specifying the instance of the mode.
Use the following CLI to configure wireless LAN 1 parameters:
cnWest-5ghz(config)#
cnWest-5ghz(config)# wireless wlan 1
cnWest-5ghz(config-wlan-1)#
Use the following CLI to exit from a mode back to the global context type
exit
command:
cnWest-5ghz(config-wlan-1)# exit
cnWest-5ghz(config)#
The default login and password for the CLI are admin. The password can be changed using the
management user admin password
command.
