CLI Batch File
A CLI Batch file is a user-editable file that lists a series of CLI set commands, that can be uploaded to the Access Point to change its
configuration. The Access Point executes the CLI commands specified in the CLI Batch file after upload and the configuration gets changed
accordingly. A CLI Batch file can also be used for Auto Configuration.
The CLI Batch file does not replace the existing LTV format configuration file, which continues to define the configuration of the AP.
The CLI Batch file contains a list of CLI commands that the AP will execute. The AP performs the commands in the file immediately after the
file is uploaded to the AP manually or during Auto Configuration. The AP parses the file and executes the CLI commands. Commands that do
not require a reboot take effect immediately, while commands that require a reboot (typically commands affecting a wireless interface) will
take effect after reboot.
Auto Configuration and the CLI Batch File
The Auto Configuration feature allows download of the LTV format configuration file or the CLI Batch file. The AP detects whether the file
uploaded is LTV format or a CLI Batch file. If the AP detects a CLI Batch file (a file with extension .cli), the AP executes the file immediately.
The AP will reboot after executing the CLI Batch file. Auto Configuration will not result in repeated reboots if the CLI Batch file contains
rebootable parameters.
CLI Batch File Format and Syntax
The CLI Batch file must be named with a .cli extension to be recognized by the AP. The maximum file size allowed is 100 Kbytes, and files
with larger sizes cannot be uploaded to the AP. The CLI commands supported in the CLI Batch File are a subset of the legal AP CLI
commands.
The follow commands are supported:
•
Set commands
• Reboot command (the reboot command ignores the argument (time))
Each command must be separated by a new line. Refer to Appendix A, CLI Command Reference for detailed command syntax.
NOTE
The following commands are not supported: Show command, Debug command, Undebug command, Upload command, Download
command, Passwd command, Kill command, and the Exit, Quit, and Done commands.
Sample CLI Batch File
The following is a sample CLI Batch File:
set sysname system1
set sysloc sunnyvale
set sysctname contact1
set sysctphone 1234567890
set sysctemail [email protected]
set ipaddr 11.0.0.66
set ipaddrtype static
set ipsubmask 255.255.255.0
set ipgw 11.0.0.1
set wif 4 autochannel disable
set wif 4 mode 1
set syslogstatus enable
set sysloghbstatus enable
set sysloghbinterval 5
set wif 4 netname london
reboot
Reboot Behavior
When a CLI Batch file contains a reboot command, the reboot will occur only after the entire CLI Batch file has been executed.
There are two methods of uploading the CLI Batch File:
•
Upload
• Upload and reboot (this option is to be used for a CLI Batch file containing the configuration parameters that require a reboot)
