Instant CLI
The Instant Command Line Interface (CLI) is a text-based interface accessible through a Secure Shell (SSH)
session.
SSH access requires that you configure an IP address and a default gateway on the W-IAP and connect the W-
IAP to your network. This is typically performed when the Instant network on a W-IAP is set up.
