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).

6.4.3.1

Virtual Radio Interface Settings in the CLI

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]>

vapcfg radio 1

[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:

[AP]>

vapcfg radio 1
