Command Line Interface (CLI)

This section describes the AP’s Command Line (CLI) Interface. CLI commands can be used to initialize, configure, and manage the Access Point.


General Notes

Prerequisite Skills and Knowledge

To use this document effectively, you should have a working knowledge of Local Area Networking (LAN) concepts, network access infrastructures, and client-server relationships. In addition, you should be familiar with software setup procedures for typical network operating systems and servers.

Notation Conventions

  • Computer prompts are shown as constant width type. For example: [Device-Name]>
  • Information that you input as shown is displayed in bold constant width type. For example: [Device name]> set ipaddr 10.0.0.12
  • The names of keyboard keys, software buttons, and field names are displayed in bold type. For example: Click the Configure button.
  • Screen names are displayed in bold italics. For example, the System Status screen.

Important Terminology

  • Configuration Files - Database files containing the current Access Point configuration. Configuration items include the IP Address and other network-specific values. Config files may be downloaded to the Access Point or uploaded for backup or troubleshooting.
  • Download vs. Upload - Downloads transfer files to the Access Point. Uploads transfer files from the Access Point. The TFTP server performs file transfers in both directions.
  • Group - A logical collection of network parameter information. For example, the System Group is composed of several related parameters. Groups can also contain Tables. All items for a given Group can be displayed with a show <Group> CLI Command.
  • Image File - The Access Point software executed from RAM. To update an Access Point you typically download a new Image File. This file is often referred to as the “AP Image”.
  • Parameter - A fundamental network value that can be displayed and may be changeable. For example, the Access Point must have a unique IP Address and the Wireless interface must be assigned an SSID. Change parameters with the CLI set Command, and view them with the CLI show Command.
  • Table - Tables hold parameters for several related items. For example, you can add several potential managers to the SNMP Table. All items for a given Table can be displayed with a show <Table> CLI Command.
  • TFTP - Refers to the TFTP Server, used for file transfers.

Command Line Interface (CLI) Variations

Administrators use the CLI to control Access Point operation and monitor network statistics. The AP supports two types of CLI: the Bootloader CLI and the normal CLI. The Bootloader CLI provides a limited command set, and is used when the current AP Image is bad or missing. The Bootloader CLI allows you to assign an IP Address and download a new image. Once the image is downloaded and running, the Access Point uses the normal CLI. This guide covers the normal CLI unless otherwise specified.

Bootloader CLI

The Bootloader CLI is a minimal subset of the normal CLI used to perform initial configuration of the AP. This interface is only accessible via the serial interface if the AP does not contain a software image or a download image command over TFTP has failed.

The Bootloader CLI provides you with the ability to configure the initial setup parameters as well as download a software image to the device.

The following functions are supported by the Bootloader CLI:

    • configuration of initial device parameters using the set command
    • show command to view the device’s configuration parameters
    • help command to provide additional information on all commands supported by the Bootloader CLI
    • reboot command to reboot the device

The parameters supported by the Bootloader CLI (for viewing and modifying) are:

    • System Name
    • IP Address Assignment Type
    • IP Address
    • IP Mask
    • Gateway IP Address
    • TFTP Server IP Address
    • Image File Name (including the file extension)

The following lists display the results of using the help command in the Bootloader CLI:

Results of “help” bootloader CLI command

The following lists display the results of using the show command in the Bootloader CLI:

Results of “show” bootloader CLI command


CLI Command Types

This guide divides CLI Commands into two categories: Operational and Parameter Controls.

Operational CLI Commands

These commands affect Access Point behavior, such as downloading, rebooting, and so on. After entering commands (and parameters, if any) press the Enter key to execute the Command Line.

Operational commands include:

  • ?: Typing a question mark lists CLI Commands or parameters, depending on usage (you do not need to type Enter after typing this command)
  • done, exit, quit: Terminates the CLI session
  • download: Uses TFTP server to download “image”, “config”, or “bootloader upgrade” files to Access Point
  • help: Displays general CLI help information or command help information, such as command usage and syntax
  • history: Remembers commands to help avoid re-entering complex statements
  • passwd: Sets the Access Point’s CLI password
  • reboot: Reboots the Access Point in the specified time
  • search: Lists the parameters in a specified Table
  • upload: Uses TFTP server to upload “config” files from Access Point to TFTP default directory or specified path

? (List Commands)

This command can be used in a number of ways to display available commands and parameters.

The following table lists each operation and provides a basic example. Following the table are detailed examples and display results for each operation.

Operation
Basic Example
Display the Command List (Example 1)
[Device-Name]>?
Display commands that start with specified letters (Example 2)
[Device-Name]>s?
Display parameters for set and show Commands (Examples 3a and 3b)
[Device-Name]>set ?
[Device-Name]>show ipa?
Prompt to enter successive parameters for Commands (Example 4)
[Device-Name]>download ?

Example 1. Display Command list

To display the Command List, enter ?.

[Device-Name]>?

Result of “?” CLI command

Example 2. Display specific Commands

To show all commands that start with specified letters, enter one or more letters, then ? with no space between letters and ?.

[Device-Name]>s?

Result of “s?” CLI command

Example 3. Display parameters for set and show

Example 3a allows you to see every possible parameter for the set (or show) commands. Notice from example 3a that the list is very long. Example 3b shows how to display a subset of the parameters based on initial parameter letters.

Example 3a. Display every parameter that can be changed

[Device-Name]>set ?

Result of “set ?” CLI command

Example 3b. Display parameters based on letter sequence

This example shows entries for parameters that start with the letter “i”. The more letters you enter, the fewer the results returned. Notice that there is no space between the letters and the question mark.

[Device-Name]> show ipa?

Result of “show ipa?” CLI command

[Device-Name]> show iparp?

Result of “show iparp?” CLI command

Example 4. Display Prompts for Successive Parameters

Enter the command, a space, and then ?. Then, when the parameter prompt appears, enter the parameter value. Result: The parameter is changed and a new CLI line is echoed with the new value (in the first part of the following example, the value is the IP Address of the TFTP server).

After entering one parameter, you may add another ? to the new CLI line to see the next parameter prompt, and so on until you have entered all of the required parameters. The following example shows how this is used for the download Command. The last part of the example shows the completed download Command ready for execution.

[Device-Name]> download ?
<TFTP IP Address>

[Device-Name]> download 192.168.0.101 ?
<File Name>

[Device-Name]> download 192.168.0.101 apimage ?
<file type (config/img/bootloader)>

[Device-Name]> download 192.168.0.101 apimage img <CR>

done, exit, quit

Each of the following commands ends a CLI session:

[Device-Name]> done
[Device-Name]> exit
[Device-Name]> quit

download

Downloads the specified file from a TFTP server to the Access Point. Executing download in combination with the asterisks character (“*”) will make use of the previously set TFTP parameters. Executing download without parameters will display command help and usage information.

  1. Syntax to download a file:
    Device-Name]>download <tftp server address> <path and filename> <file type>

    Example:
    [Device-Name]>download 192.168.1.100 APImage2 img
  2. Syntax to display help and usage information:
    [Device-Name]>download
  3. Syntax to execute the download Command using previously set (stored) TFTP Parameters:
    [Device-Name]>download *

help

Displays instructions on using control-key sequences for navigating a Command Line and displays command information and examples.

  1. Using help as the only argument:

[Device-Name]>help

Results of “help” CLI command

  1. Complete command description and command usage can be provided by:
    [Device-Name]>help <command name>
    [Device-Name]><command name> help

history

Shows content of Command History Buffer. The Command History Buffer stores command statements entered in the current session. To avoid re-entering long command statements, use the keyboard “up arrow” (Ctrl-P) and “down arrow” (Ctrl-N) keys to recall previous statements from the Command History Buffer. When the desired statement reappears, press the Enter key to execute, or you may edit the statement before executing it.

[Device-Name]> history

passwd

Changes the CLI Password.

[Device-Name]> passwd oldpassword newpassword newpassword

reboot

Reboots Access Point after specified number of seconds. Specify a value of 0 (zero) for immediate reboot.

[Device-Name]> reboot 0
[Device-Name]> reboot 30

search

Lists the parameters supported by the specified table. This list corresponds to the table information displayed in the HTTP interface. In this example, the CLI returns the list of parameters that make up an entry in the IP Access Table.

[Device-Name]> search mgmtipaccesstbl

Results of “search mgmtipaccesstbl” CLI command

upload

Uploads a text-based configuration file from the AP to the TFTP Server. Executing upload with the asterisk character (“*”) will make use of the previously set/stored TFTP parameters. Executing upload without parameters will display command help and usage information.

  1. Syntax to upload a file:
    [Device-Name]>upload <tftp server address> <path and filename> <filetype>

    Example:
    [Device-Name]>upload 192.168.1.100 APconfig.sys config
  2. Syntax to display help and usage information:
    [Device-Name]>help upload
  3. Syntax to execute the upload command using previously set (stored) TFTP Parameters:
    [Device-Name]>upload *

Parameter Control Commands

The following sections cover the two Parameter Control Commands (show and set) and include several tables showing parameter properties. These commands allow you to view (show) all parameters and statistics and to change (set) parameters.

  • show: To see any Parameter or Statistic value, you can specify a single parameter, a Group, or a Table.
  • set: Use this CLI Command to change parameter values. You can use a single CLI statement to modify Tables, or you can modify each parameter separately.

“show” CLI Command

Displays the value of the specified parameter, or displays all parameter values of a specified group (parameter table). Groups contain Parameters and Tables. Tables contain parameters for a series of similar entities.

To see a definition and syntax example, type only show and then press the Enter key. To see a list of available parameters, enter a question mark (?) after show (example: show ?).

  • Syntax:
    [Device-Name]>show <parameter>
    [Device-Name]>show <group>
    [Device-Name]>show <table>

    Examples:
    [Device-Name]>show ipaddr
    [Device-Name]>show network
    [Device-Name]>show mgmtipaccesstbl

“set” CLI Command

Sets (modifies) the value of the specified parameter. To see a definition and syntax example, type only set and then press the Enter key. To see a list of available parameters, enter a space, then a question mark (?) after set (example: set?).

Syntax:
[Device-Name]>set <parameter> <value>
[Device-Name]>set <table> <index> <argument 1> <value 1> ... <argument N> <value N>

Example:

[Device-Name]>
set sysloc “Main Lobby”
[Device-Name]>set mgmtipaccesstbl 0 ipaddr 10.0.0.10 ipmask 255.255.0.0

Configuring Objects that Require Reboot

Certain objects supported by the Access Point require a device reboot in order for the changes to take effect. In order to inform the end-user of this behavior, the CLI provides informational messages when the user has configured an object that requires a reboot. The following messages are displayed as a result of the configuring such object or objects.

Example 1: Configuring objects that require the device to be rebooted

The following message is displayed every time the user has configured an object that requires the device to be rebooted.

[Device-Name]>set ipaddr 135.114.73.10
The following elements require reboot

ipaddr

Example 2: Executing the “exit”, “quit”, or “done” commands when an object that requires reboot has been configured

In addition to the above informational message, the CLI also provides a message as a result of the exit, quit, or done command if changes have been made to objects that require reboot. If you make changes to objects that require reboot and execute the exit command the following message is displayed:

[Device-Name]>exit<CR> OR quit<CR> OR done<CR>

Modifications have been made to parameters that require the device to be rebooted. These changes will only take effect after the next reboot.

“set” and “show” Command Examples

In general, you will use the CLI show Command to view current parameter values and use the CLI set Command to change parameter values. As shown in the following examples, parameters may be set individually or all parameters for a given table can be set with a single statement.

Example 1 - Set the Access Point IP Address Parameter

Syntax:
[Device-Name]>set <parameter name> <parameter value>

Example:
[Device-Name]> set ipaddr 10.0.0.12

Result: IP Address will be changed when you reboot the Access Point. The CLI reminds you when rebooting is required for a change to take effect. To reboot immediately, enter reboot 0 (zero) at the CLI prompt.

Example 2 - Create a table entry or row

Use 0 (zero) as the index to a table when creating an entry. When creating a table row, only the mandatory table elements are required (comment is usually an optional table element). For optional table elements, the default value is generally applied if you do not specify a value.

Syntax:
[Device-Name]>set <table name> <table index> <element 1> <value 1> …
<element n> <value n>


Example:
[Device-Name]> set mgmtipaccesstbl 0 ipaddr 10.0.0.10 ipmask 255.255.0.0

Result: A new table entry is created for IP address 10.0.0.10 with a 255.255.0.0 subnet mask.

Example 3 - Modify a table entry or row

Use the index to be modified and the table elements you would like to modify. For example, suppose the IP Access Table has one entry and you wanted to modify the IP address:


[Device-Name]>set mgmtipaccesstbl 1 ipaddr 10.0.0.11

You can also modify several elements in the table entry. Enter the index number and specific table elements you would like to modify. (Hint: Use the search Command to see the elements that belong to the table.)


[Device-Name]>set mgmtipaccesstbl 1 ipaddr 10.0.0.12 ipmask 255.255.255.248
cmt “First Row”

Example 4 - Enable, Disable, or Delete a table entry or row

The following example illustrates how to manage the second entry in a table.

Syntax:
[Device-Name]>set <Table> index status <enable, disable, delete>
[Device-Name]>set <Table> index status <1=enable, 2=disable, 3=delete>

Example:
[Device-Name]>set mgmtipaccesstbl 2 status enable
[Device-Name]>set mgmtipaccesstbl 2 status disable
[Device-Name]>set mgmtipaccesstbl 2 status delete
[Device-Name]>set mgmtipaccesstbl 2 status 2

You may need to enable a disabled table entry before you can change the entry’s elements.
Example 5 - Show the Group Parameters

This example illustrates how to view all elements of a group or table.

Syntax:
[Device-Name]> show <group name>

Example:
[Device-Name]>show network

Result: The CLI displays network group parameters. Note show network and show ip return the same data.

Results of “show network” and “show ip” CLI Commands

Example 6 - Show Individual and Table Parameters

1. View a single parameter.

Syntax:
[Device-Name]>show <parameter name>

Example:
[Device-Name]> show ipaddr

Result: Displays the Access Point IP address.

Result of “show ipaddr” CLI Command

2. View all parameters in a table.

Syntax:
[Device-Name]> show <table name>
Example:[Device-Name]> show mgmtipaccesstbl

Result: Displays the IP Access Table and its entries.


Using Tables & User Strings

Working with Tables

Each table element (or parameter) must be specified, as in the example below.

[Device-Name]>set mgmtipaccesstbl 0 ipaddr 10.0.0.10 ipmask 255.255.0.0

Below are the rules for creating, modifying, enabling/disabling, and deleting table entries.

  • Creation
    • The table name is required.
    • The table index is required – for table entry/instance creation the index is always zero (0).
    • The order in which the table arguments or objects are entered in not important.
    • Parameters that are not required can be omitted, in which case they will be assigned the default value.
  • Modification
    • The table name is required.
    • The table index is required – to modify the table, “index” must be the index of the entry to be modified.
    • Only the table objects that are to be modified need to be specified. Not all the table objects are required.
    • If multiple table objects are to be modified the order in which they are entered is not important.
    • If the entire table entry is to be modified, all the table objects have to be specified.
  • Enabling/Disabling
    • The table name is required.
    • The table index is required – for table enabling/disabling the index should be the index of the entry to be enabled/disabled.
    • The entry’s new state (either “enable” or “disable”) is required.
  • Deletion
    • The table name is required.
    • The table index is required – for table deletion the index should be the index of the entry to be deleted.
    • The word “delete” is required.

Using Strings

Since there are several string objects supported by the AP, a string delimiter is required for the strings to be interpreted correctly by the command line parser. For this CLI implementation, the single quote or double quote character can be used at the beginning and at the end of the string.

For example:
[Device-Name]> set sysname Lobby - Does not need quote marks
[Device-Name]> set sysname “Front Lobby” - Requires quote marks.

The scenarios supported by this CLI are:

“My Desk in the office”
Double Quotes
‘My Desk in the office’
Single Quotes
“My ‘Desk’ in the office”
Single Quotes within Double Quotes
‘My “Desk” in the office’
Double Quotes within Single Quotes
“Daniel’s Desk in the office”
One Single Quote within Double Quotes
‘Daniel”s Desk in the office’
One Double Quote within Single Quotes

The string delimiter does not have to be used for every string object. The single quote or double quote only has to be used for string objects that contain blank space characters. If the string object being used does not contain blank spaces, then the string delimiters, single or double quotes, mentioned in this section are not required.


Configuring the AP using CLI commands

Log into the AP using HyperTerminal

    1. Open your terminal emulation program (like HyperTerminal) and set the following connection properties:
      • Com Port: <COM1, COM2, etc., depending on your computer>
      • Baud rate: 9600
      • Data Bits: 8
      • Stop bits: 1
      • Flow Control: None
      • Parity: None
    2. Under File -> Properties -> Settings -> ASCII Setup, enable the Send line ends with line feeds option.

Result: HyperTerminal sends a line return at the end of each line of code.

    1. Enter the CLI password (default is public).
    2. Avaya recommends changing your default passwords immediately. To perform this operation using CLI commands, refer to Change Passwords.

Log into the AP using Telnet

The CLI commands can be used to access, configure, and manage the AP using Telnet. Follow these steps:

    1. Confirm that your computer’s IP address is in the same IP subnet as the AP.
    2. If you have not previously configured the Access Point’s IP address and do not have a DHCP server on the network, the Access Point will default to an IP address of 10.0.0.1.
    3. Go to the DOS command prompt on your computer.
    4. Type telnet <IP Address of the unit>.
    5. Enter the CLI password (default is public).
    6. Avaya recommends changing your default passwords immediately. To perform this operation using CLI commands, refer to Change Passwords.

Set Basic Configuration Parameters using CLI Commands

There are a few basic configuration parameters that you may want to setup right away when you receive the AP. For example:

Set System Name, Location and Contact Information

[Device-Name]>set sysname <system name> sysloc <Unit Location>
[Device-Name]>set sysctname <Contact Name (person responsible for system)>
[Device-Name]>set sysctphone <Contact Phone Number> sysctemail <Contact E-mail address>
[Device-Name]>show system

Result of “show system” CLI Command

Set Static IP Address for the AP

The IP Subnet Mask of the AP must match your network’s Subnet Mask.

[Device-Name]>set ipaddrtype static
[Device-Name]>set ipaddr <fixed IP address of unit>
[Device-Name]>set ipsubmask <IP Mask>
[Device-Name]>set ipgw <gateway IP address>
[Device-Name]>show network

Change Passwords

[Device-Name]>passwd <Old Password> <New Password> <Confirm Password> (CLI password)
[Device-Name]>set httppasswd <New Password> (HTTP interface password)
[Device-Name]>set snmprpasswd <New Password> (SNMP read password)
[Device-Name]>set snmprwpasswd <New Password> (SNMP read/write)
[Device-Name]>set snmpv3authpasswd <New Password> (SNMPv3 authentication password)
[Device-Name]>set snmpv3privpasswd <New Password> (SNMPv3 privacy password)
[Device-Name]>reboot 0

Avaya strongly urges you to change the default passwords to restrict access to your network devices to authorized personnel. If you lose or forget your password settings, you can always perform the Reset to Factory Default Procedure.

Set Network Names for the Wireless Interface

[Device-Name]>set wif <index 3 (Slot A) or 4 (Slot B)> netname <Network Name (SSID) for wireless interface>
[Device-Name]>show wif

Results of “show wif” CLI command for an AP

Enable and Configure TX Power Control for the Wireless Interface(s)

The TX Power Control feature lets the user configure the transmit power level of the card in the AP at one of four levels:

  • 100% of the maximum transmit power level of the card
  • 50%
  • 25%
  • 12.5%

Perform the following commands to enable TX Power Control and set the transmit power level:

[Device-Name]>set txpowercontrol enable


[Device-Name]>set wif <interface number> currenttxpowerlevel <value>
Allowed values are: 1 (100%), 2 (50%), 3 (25%), 4 (12.5%)

Set WEP Encryption for the Wireless Interface

Wireless clients must be configured with the same encryption key to be able to communicate with the AP. The AP can only support one Key Length (so each of the configured keys must have the same length). The available key sizes vary based on the Access Point’s model. See Security Encryption Key Length Table for more information.

You can set up to four encryption keys. This example describes setting encryption Key 1 on the wireless card in Slot A (if applicable; a Single-radio AP uses index 3; a Dual-radio AP uses index 3 for Slot A and index 4 for Slot B).

[Device-Name]>set wifsec 3 encryptstatus enable encryptkey1 <WEP key (number of characters
vary depending on AP model)> encryptkeytx key1
[Device-Name]>show wifsec

Result of “show wifsec” CLI Command

Download an AP Configuration File from your TFTP Server

Begin by starting your TFTP program. It must be running and configured to transmit and receive.

[Device-Name]>set tftpfilename <file name> tftpfiletype config
tftpipaddr <IP address of your TFTP server>
[Device-Name]>show tftp (to ensure the filename, file type, and the IP address are correct)
[Device-Name]>download *
[Device-Name]>reboot 0

After following the complete process (above) once, you can download a file of the same name (so long as all the other parameters are the same), with the following command:

[Device-Name]>download *

Backup your AP Configuration File

Begin by starting your TFTP program. It must be running and configured to transmit and receive.

[Device-Name]>upload <TFTP Server IP address> <tftpfilename (such as “config.sys”)> config
[Device-Name]>show tftp (to ensure the filename, file type, and the IP address are correct)

After setting the TFTP parameters, you can backup your current file (so long as all the other parameters are the same), with the following command:

[Device-Name]>upload *

Set up Auto Configuration

The Auto Configuration feature which allows an AP to be automatically configured by downloading a specific configuration file from a TFTP server during the boot up process.

Perform the following commands to enable and set up automatic configuration:

The configuration filename and TFTP server IP address are configured only when the AP is configured for Static IP. If the AP is configured for Dynamic IP these parameters are not used and obtained from DHCP.
The default filename is “config”. The default TFTP IP address is “10.0.0.2” for AP-3.

[Device-Name]>set autoconfigstatus <enable/disable>

[Device-Name]>
set autoconfigfilename <filename>
Enter the filename of the configuration file that is used if the AP is configured for Static IP.

[Device-Name]>
set autoconfigTFTPaddr <IP address>
Enter the TFTP server address that is used if the AP is configured for Static IP.


Other Network Settings

There are other configuration settings that you may want to set for the AP. Some of them are listed below.

Configure the AP as a DHCP Server

You must have at least one entry in the DHCP Server IP Address Pool Table before you can set the DHCP Server Status to Enable.

[Device-Name]>set dhcpstatus disable
[Device-Name]>set dhcpippooltbl 0 startipaddr <start ip address>
endipaddr <end ip address>
[Device-Name]>set dhcpgw <gateway ip address>
[Device-Name]>set dhcppridnsipaddr <primary dns ip address>
[Device-Name]>set dhcpsecdnsipaddr <secondary dns ip address>
[Device-Name]>set dhcpstatus enable
[Device-Name]>reboot 0

Before enabling this feature, confirm that the IP address pools you have configured are valid addresses on the network and do not overlap the addresses assigned by any other DHCP server on the network. Enabling this feature with incorrect address pools will cause problems on your network.

Configure the DNS Client

[Device-Name]>set dnsstatus enable
[Device-Name]>set dnsprisvripaddr <IP address of primary DNS server>
[Device-Name]>set dnssecsvripaddr <IP address of secondary DNS server>
[Device-Name]>set dnsdomainname <default domain name>
[Device-Name]>show dns

Results of “show dns” CLI command

Maintain Client Connections using Link Integrity

[Device-Name]>show linkinttbl (this shows the current links)
[Device-Name]>
set linkinttbl <1-5 (depending on what table row you wish to address)>
ipaddr <ip address of the host computer you want to check>
[Device-Name]>set linkintpollint <the interval between link integrity checks>
[Device-Name]>set linkintpollretx <number of times to retransmit before considering
the link down>
[Device-Name]>set linkintstatus enable
[Device-Name]>show linkinttbl (confirm new settings)
[Device-Name]>
reboot 0

[Device-Name]>set wif <index> distaps <large, medium, small, minicell, microcell>
[Device-Name]>reboot 0

The distance between APs should not be approximated. It is calculated by means of a manual Site Survey, in which an AP is set up and clients are tested throughout the area to determine signal strength and coverage, and local limits such as physical interference are investigated. From these measurements the appropriate cell size and density is determined, and the optimum distance between APs is calculated to suit your particular business requirements.

Set Rogue Access Point Detection (RAD) Parameters

The Rogue AP Detection (RAD) feature enables an additional security level for wireless LAN deployments. The RAD feature provides a mechanism for detecting Rogue Access Points by utilizing the coverage of the trusted Access Point deployment.

The Rogue AP Scan employs background scanning using low-level 802.11 scanning functions for effective wireless detection of Access Points in its coverage area with minimal impact on the normal operation of the Access Point.

The set radstatus command enables Rogue Access Point Detection. The scan repetition duration (radscanint) is also configurable.If the Access Point uses directional antennas to provide directional coverage, then the interface bitmask (radifbitmask) can be configured to maximize the scanning coverage area.

[Device-Name]>set radstatus enable
[Device-Name]>set radscanint <15-1440>
[Device-Name]>set radifbitmask <4 (WiF A), 8 (WiF B), or 12 (both interfaces)>

[Device-Name]>show rad

RADIUS Parameters

Primary and Backup RADIUS Server Table Parameters

Avaya devices that use RADIUS authentication and/or accounting support a primary and backup RADIUS server for MAC-based authentication and a primary and backup RADIUS server for EAP/802.1x authentication. The configuration parameters and statistics are the same for both primary and backup servers.

The CLI differentiates the primary and backup RADIUS parameters by using the table index:

  • Index 1: Primary MAC-based authentication server
  • Index 2: Backup MAC-based authentication server
  • Index 3: Primary EAP/802.1x authentication server
  • Index 4: Backup EAP/802.1x authentication server
