Professional Access Point
Administrator Guide
Class Structure, Commands, and Examples - 177
Command Line Interface
In addition to the Web-based user interface, the Professional Access Point includes a command line
interface (CLI) for administering the access point. The CLI lets you view and modify status and
configuration information.
From the client station perspective, even a single deployed Professional Access Point broadcasting its
"network name" to clients constitutes a
wireless network
. Keep in mind that CLI configuration commands,
like Web User Interface settings, can affect a single access point running in stand-alone mode or
automatically propagate to a network of
clustered
access points that share the same settings. (For more
information on clustering, see
“Access Points” on page 43
. For information on how to set an access point
to stand-alone or cluster mode from the CLI, see
“Set Configuration Policy for New Access Points” on
page 39
)
