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
