About the Airespace Command Line InterfaceAirespace Command Line Interface
The Airespace Command Line Interface (CLI) is built into the Airespace Wireless Switches and WLAN
Appliances, and is one of the AireOS management interfaces described in About the Airespace System
.
The Airespace CLI allows operators to use a VT-100 emulator to locally or remotely configure, monitor
and control individual Airespace Switches and Appliances, and to access extensive debugging
capabilities.
Because the CLI works with one Airespace Switch or Appliance at a time, the Airespace Command Line
Interface is especially useful in Single-Airespace Switch or Appliance Deployments
, or in
Multiple-Airespace Switch and Appliance Deployments when you wish to connect to a single Airespace
Switch or Appliance.
The Airespace Switch or Appliance and its associated Airespace APs can be configured and monitored
using the Command Line Interface (CLI), which consists of a simple text-based, tree-structured
interface that allows up to five users with Telnet-capable terminal emulators to simultaneously
configure and monitor all aspects of the Airespace Switch or Appliance and associated Airespace APs.
Refer to Using the Airespace CLI
and the Airespace CLI Reference for more information.
