Fortress Bridge: Command-Line Interface

88

The sample output for the 

show radio

 command (at the 

beginning of this section) shows the default radio settings.

As shown in the example interactive 

set radio

 output, 

reconfiguring radio settings requires that you reboot the Bridge 
in order to effect your changes.

The 

show

 

radio

 and 

set

 

radio

 commands are valid only in AP 

(access point) mode (refer to Section 6.1.1 for more detail).

The Bridge CLI AP mode uses a submenu of commands to 
view and configure virtual radio interfaces settings, otherwise 
known as virtual access points (VAPs). 

Use the 

vapcfg

 command to access these commands. You 

must specify the radio associated with the virtual interface(s) 
you want to configure with the 

vapcfg

 command (the CLI will 

prompt you for a radio number if you do not enter it with the 
command).

[AP]> 

[VAP]>

The command prompt (

VAP

) reflects the fact that you are in 

VAP-configuration mode.

The 

vapcfg

 command is valid only in AP mode. So in order to 

access the VAP command set for the other radio, you must 
return to AP mode and re-enter the 

vapcfg

 command. This is 

illustrated in the output of the 

show

 command below. Use the 

show

 command to view the current virtual radio interface 

configuration:
