21 | Setting up a W-IAP Dell Networking W-Series Instant 6.5.1.0-4.3.1.0 | User Guide
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 subcommand 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 EXEC mode, configuration
mode, or subcommand 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 VC 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, it is recommended 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, execute the following command in the
privileged EXEC mode:
(Instant AP)# commit apply
To apply the configuration changes to the cluster without saving the configuration, execute the following
command in the privileged EXEC mode:
(Instant AP)# commit apply no-save
To view the changes that are yet to be applied, execute the following command in the privileged EXEC mode:
(Instant AP)# show uncommitted-config
To revert to the earlier configuration, execute the following command in the privileged EXEC mode.
(Instant AP)# commit revert
Example:
To apply and view the configuration changes:
(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
