Fortress Bridge: Command-Line Interface

89

By default a single virtual access point (

vap 1

) is configured for

each radio. The SSIDs associated with these two primary
VAPs should never be left at their defaults (shown above).
SSID strings can be up to 32 characters long.

Configure VAP settings interactively by entering the

set

command with just the

vap <N>

argument, where N is the VAP

number. The Bridge CLI presents one field at a time, and you
can either enter a new value for a given field or strike

Enter

to

leave the value unchanged and go on to the next field.

You can reconfigure existing VAPs with the

set

command:

[VAP]>

set vap 1

SSID [String <= 32] (Base-11g):

0123xyz

[OK]
DTIM [1-255] (1):
Hide SSID [on|off] (off):
RTS Threshold [off|1-2345] (off):
Frag Threshold [off|256-2345] (off):
Only 11g [on|off] (off):
Security Suite [? for options] (fortress):
Committing changes...
Reboot is required. [Y|N]?

You can also use the

set

command interactively to configure

the same parameters for new VAPs.

Entering a dot (

.

) at the SSID prompt clears the SSID string.

The

Security Suite

field will accept any of eleven possible

entries, and the differing parameters required for each are
presented interactively once you have entered your selection.
The CLI provides a list of possible

Security Suite

options

when a question mark (

?

) is entered for the field. (

Security

Suite

options and the parameters required to configure them

are described in detail in Section 3.3.4).
