Using the Command Line Interface

CLI Error Messages

The following table describes the error messages associated with improper inputs or expected CLI behavior.

Command Line Interface (CLI) Variations

Administrators use the CLI to control Access Point operation and monitor network statistics. The AP-2500 supports
two types of CLI: the Bootloader CLI and the normal CLI. The Bootloader CLI provides a limited command set, and is
used when the current AP Image is bad or missing. The Bootloader CLI allows you to assign an IP Address and
download a new image. Once the image is downloaded and running, the Access Point uses the normal CLI. This guide
covers the normal CLI unless otherwise specified.

Bootloader CLI

The Bootloader CLI is a minimal subset of the normal CLI used to perform initial configuration of the AP-2500 device.
This interface is only be accessible via the serial interface if the AP-2500 unit does not contain an image (binary) or the
TFTP operation has failed as result of the download command for an image.
The Bootloader CLI provides you with the ability to configure the initial setup parameters as well as download an
image (binary) to the device.
The Bootloader CLI supports the following functions:

configuration of initial device parameters using the set command

show

command to view the device’s configuration parameters

help

command to provide additional information on all commands supported by the Bootloader CLI

reboot

command to reboot the device.

The parameters supported by the Bootloader CLI (for viewing and modifying) are:

System Name

IP Address Assignment Type

IP Address

IP Mask

Gateway IP Address

TFTP Server IP Address

Image (binary) File Name
