42 | Setting up an IAP Aruba Instant 6.4.0.2-4.1 | User Guide
Connecting to a CLI Session
On connecting to a CLI session, the system displays its host name followed by the login prompt. Use the
administrator credentials to start a CLI session. For example:
(Instant AP)
User: admin
If the login is successful, the privileged command mode is enabled and a command prompt is displayed. For
example:
(Instant AP)#
The privileged mode provides access to show, clear, ping, traceroute, and commit commands. The configuration
commands are available in config mode. To move from privileged mode to the configuration mode, enter the
following command at the command prompt:
(Instant AP)# configure terminal
The configure terminal command allows you to enter the basic configuration mode and the command prompt is
displayed as follows:
(Instant AP)(config)#
The Instant CLI allows CLI scripting in several other sub-command modes to allow the users to configure individual
interfaces, SSIDs, access rules, and security settings.
You can use the question mark (?) to view the commands available in a privileged mode, configuration mode, or sub-
mode.
Although automatic completion is supported for some commands such as configure terminal, the complete exit
and end commands must be entered at command prompt.
Applying Configuration Changes
Each command processed by the Virtual Controller is applied on all the slaves in a cluster. The changes configured
in a CLI session are saved in the CLI context. The CLI does not support the configuration data exceeding the 4K
buffer size in a CLI session. Therefore, Aruba recommends that you configure fewer changes at a time and apply the
changes at regular intervals.
To apply and save the configuration changes at regular intervals, use the following command in the privileged mode:
(Instant AP)# commit apply
To apply the configuration changes to the cluster without saving the configuration, use the following command in the
privileged mode:
(Instant AP)# commit apply no-save
To view the changes that are yet to be applied, use the following command in the privileged mode:
(Instant AP)# show uncommitted-config
To revert to the earlier configuration, use the following command in the privileged mode.
(Instant AP)# commit revert
Example:
(Instant AP)(config)# rf dot11a-radio-profile
(Instant AP)(RF dot11a Radio Profile)# beacon-interval 200
(Instant AP)(RF dot11a Radio Profile)# no legacy-mode
(Instant AP)(RF dot11a Radio Profile)# dot11h
(Instant AP)(RF dot11a Radio Profile)# interference-immunity 3
(Instant AP)(RF dot11a Radio Profile)# csa-count 2
(Instant AP)(RF dot11a Radio Profile)# spectrum-monitor
(Instant AP)(RF dot11a Radio Profile)# end
