Command Line Interface (CLI) Variations

Administrators use the CLI to control Access Point operation and monitor network statistics. The AP 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.

The Bootloader CLI is a minimal subset of the normal CLI used to perform initial configuration of the AP. This interface is 
only accessible via the serial interface if the AP does not contain a software image or a download image command over 
TFTP has failed.

The Bootloader CLI provides you with the ability to configure the initial setup parameters as well as download a software 
image to the device. 

The following functions are supported by the Bootloader CLI:

• 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 File Name (including the file extension)

The following lists display the results of using the help command in the Bootloader CLI:
