5.1 Using the Command Line Interface
5.1.1 Accessing the CLI
When accessing the management interface over a direct connection to the console
port, or via a Telnet connection, the Access Point (AP) unit can be managed by
entering command keywords and parameters at the prompt. Using AP’s
command-line interface (CLI) is very similar to entering commands on a UNIX
system.
5.1.2 Console Connection
1 At the console prompt, enter the user name and password. (The default user
name is admin and the default password is smcadmin.) When the user name is
entered, the CLI displays the
Enterprise AP# prompt.
2 Enter the necessary commands to complete your desired tasks.
3 When finished, exit the session with the “exit” command.
After connecting to the system through the console port, the login screen is
displayed:
5.1.3 Telnet Connection
Telnet operates over the IP transport protocol. In this environment, your
management station and any network device you want to manage over the
network must have a valid IP address. Valid IP addresses consist of four numbers,
0 to 255, separated by periods. Each address consists of a network portion and
host portion. For example, if the AP cannot acquire an IP address from a DHCP
server, the default IP address used by the AP, 192.168.1.1, consists of a network
portion (192.168.1) and a host portion (1).

Command examples shown later in this chapter abbreviate the console prompt to “AP” for simplicity.
