4 Command Line Interface Basics

4.1 Connecting to the AP
You can connect to the AP default address using one of the following methods:

Through the AP radio interface

By connecting directly to the Ethernet port on the AP
By connecting through the cable modem, if it is equipped with one

Stop!
Do not connect the AP to an operational data network before you
configure its desired IP network parameters. This may cause
traffic disruptions due to potentially duplicated IP addresses.

The AP must connect to an isolated LAN, or to a desktop or laptop PC configured to

communicate on the same IP sub-network as the AP.
4.1.1 Using the Radio Interface
Use a desktop or laptop PC equipped with a wireless 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g or
802.11n compliant interface as required, configured with a static IP address on the same
subnet as the default OAM IP address (for example, 10.1.1.1/24). For the required
configuration procedure, refer to your PC and wireless interface configuration manuals or
contact your network administrator. The PC will connect to the AP through the radio
interface.
4.1.2 Connecting to the Ethernet Port
If your AP has an electrical Ethernet port, use a cross-connect RJ45 cable to connect the
Ethernet port of the AP.
If your AP has an optical Ethernet port, use a media converter and an optical cable.
4.1.3 Using the Cable Modem
The MAC address for the APs cable modem should have been supplied to your System
Administrator when the AP was installed so that an IP address could be assigned to it.
Contact your system administrator to determine the IP address to use.
For a detailed procedure, refer to the AP Installation Guide.

4.2 Starting a CLI Session

Start a Telnet or secure shell (SSH) client and connect to the APs IP address. The AP
prompts you for your user name and password. The default super-user account is root.
The default password is admin123.
If you are configuring any AP except for the BelAir20E or AP 6120 for the first time, you
must use the default IP address (10.1.1.10). If you are configuring a BelAir20E or an AP
6120 for the first time, the AP uses Network Address Translation (NAT) to assign an IP
address to your computer. Use an IP address of 192.168.5.1 to connect to the AP.
If the login is successful, the AP CLI prompt is displayed. The default prompt is #, if
you login as root. Otherwise, the default prompt string is >.
Note the following:

The terminal session locks after four unsuccessful login attempts. To unlock
the terminal session, you must enter the super-user password.
CLI commands are not case sensitive (uppercase and lowercase characters
are equivalent).
Later, you will see that you can configure the AP to have more than one
interface with an IP address. For example, you can configure Virtual LANs
and management interfaces each with their own IP address. If you do this,
make sure your Telnet or secure shell (SSH) connections are to a
management interface. This ensures maximum responsiveness for your
session by keeping higher priority management IP traffic separate from other
IP traffic.

SSH Session Example of Initial Login

With secure shell, the system prompts you twice for your password.

ssh -l root 10.1.1.10

root@10.1.1.10's password:
Ericsson Backhaul and Access Wireless Router
Ericsson User: root
Password:
/#
Telnet Session Example of Initial Login
With Telnet, the system prompts you only once for your password.

telnet 10.1.1.10
Ericsson Backhaul and Access Wireless Router
Ericsson User: root
Password:
/#

4.3 Command Modes

The CLI has different configuration modes. Different commands are available to you,
depending on the selected mode.

Each card in the AP has at least one associated physical interface. Some examples of
physical interfaces are a Wi-Fi radio or an Ethernet interface.
Use the mode command to display the modes that are available. Because each physical
interface and each card in the AP has its own mode, displaying the modes also displays a
profile summary of the AP. See the following example.
Example - Output of mode Command

/# mode

In the preceding example:



The AP has one card. The HTME card is in slot 1.

The AP has the following physical interfaces:
o Interface wifi-1-1 is associated with the 5.8 GHz radio.
o Interface wifi-1-2 is associated with the 2.4 GHz radio.
o Interface eth-1-1 is associated with the cards Ethernet interface.
o Interfaces lan-1 to lan-4 are associated with the cards LAN interfaces.
The mgmt mode allows you to control user accounts, which authentication to
use, and whether you can access the AP with Telnet.
You can control the IP, RADIUS, RSTP, SNMP, SNTP, L2TP and NAT protocols
through the protocol mode and its sub-modes. The CGCM and CAPWAP
protocols are for use with other Ericsson devices.
You can control auto-connect, backhaul mobility and intrusion detection
through the services mode and its sub-modes.
These modes allow you to control SSH, SSL, Syslog and system settings. You
can also run diagnostics.

4.3.1 Root Mode

This is the top or root level of the CLI commands. Root mode commands start with /.
4.3.2 Card Management Mode
Use this mode for all hardware card management functions. Card management mode
commands start with /card/<card_type>-<n>.
<card_type> can be one of:

htme - The High Throughput Module Evolved (HTME) card is available for the
BelAir20E, BelAir20EO, AP 6120 and the AP 511x series.
drue - The Dual Radio Unit Evolved (DRUE) card is available for the
BelAir100NE, BelAir100NEF, BelAir100SNE, BelAir100SNEF and AP 5250.
cm - The Cable Modem (CM) card is available for the BelAir100SNE,
BelAir100SNEF and AP 5250.

<n> is the slot number.

4.3.3 Physical Interface Mode
Use this mode to configure the APs physical interfaces. Physical interface mode
commands start with /interfaces/<iface>-<n>-<m>.
<iface> can be one of:

wifi - 802.11a/b/g/n HTME or DRUE radios

eth - 1000Base-TX, 1000Base-LX EPON, HTME or DRUE Ethernet
lan - 1000Base-TX, HTME LAN
bts - pico-cellular base station

<n> is the slot number where the interface is located in the AP. <n> applies only when
<iface> is wifi or eth.
<m> is port number. <m> is 1 for most interfaces. The HTME and DRUE cards can have
multiple ports representing multiple Wi-Fi radios operating different frequencies. Some
configurations may have multiple Ethernet or LAN ports.

4.3.4 Management Mode

Use this mode to configure user accounts, user authentication and Telnet access.
Management mode commands start with /mgmt.
4.3.5 Protocol Mode
Use this mode to configure different protocols. Protocol mode commands start with
/protocol/<protocol>.
<protocol> can be one of:

ip - IP parameters for AP and VLANs

nat - Network Address Translation (NAT)
radius - Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) user sessions
rstp - Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP)
snmp - Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
sntp - Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP)
tr069 - TR-069 describes the CPE WAN Management Protocol (CWMP)
te-<eng> - L2TP tunnel engine (te). APs can have one tunnel engine per
system (syst).
cgcm - CGCM is used for communication with the Wi-Fi Manager Release 6.1
or higher.
capwap - CAPWAP is used for auto-discovery of WIC 8000 units in the
network and to establish tunnels for data, control and communications
between APs and a WIC 8000.

4.3.6 Services Mode

Use this mode to configure different services. Services mode commands start with
/services/<service>.
<service> can be one of:

auto-conn - Auto-configuration
mobility - Backhaul mobility
intrusion-detection - honeypot detection white list management

4.3.7 Administration Modes

Use these modes for various administration tasks. Administration mode commands start
with /<admin>.
<admin> can be one of:

qos - Quality of Service (QoS) parameters

ssh - Secure Shell (SSH) parameters
ssl - Secure Socket Layer (SSL) parameters
syslog - SYSLOG messages
system - System and AP configuration and administration
diagnostics - Link diagnostics

4.3.8 Using Modes

You can move between modes with the cd command. For instance, you can move from
root mode to system mode using the command:

/# cd /system
/system#
Note the following:

The prompt changes to match the current mode. You can further customize
the prompt to show the switch name or a 20-character string that you define.
Access to a mode is only allowed if the user has sufficient privileges to
execute commands in that mode.

When you access a given mode, only the commands pertaining to that mode are
available. For example, accessing snmp mode provides access to SNMP commands. For a
physical interface, this means that only the commands that apply to that specific type
and version of interface are available when you access a particular physical interface. For
example, if you access an HTMEv1 interface, only the commands that apply to an
HTMEv1 Wi-Fi radio are available.
Entering ? displays the commands that apply to the currently accessed mode. Entering
?? or help displays the commands that apply to the currently accessed mode plus
common commands that are available in all modes.
Users may execute commands from other modes than the current one, by prefixing the
desired command with the slash character / followed by the modes name. For instance,
entering:

/system# /protocol/snmp/show community

executes a command from snmp mode while in system mode.

4.4 Saving your Changes

If you change any settings from the system defaults, you must save those changes to
the configuration database to make sure they are applied the next time the AP reboots.
Similarly, you can restore the entire configuration database from a previously saved
backup copy.
4.4.1 Saving the Configuration Database

config-save [{active|backup} remoteip <ipaddress>

remotefile <filename>
[{tftp|ftp [user <usrname> password <pword>]}]]
This command allows you to save the current configuration of the entire AP. This
includes all system, layer 2 and radio settings.
When used without its optional parameters, the config-save command saves the
configuration database for the active software load to persistent storage. The stored
configuration is automatically applied at the next reboot.

When used with its optional parameters, the config-save command also transfers the
configuration database to a remote server.
If active is specified, the config-save command saves the configuration database for the
active software load to persistent storage and then transfers it to a remote server. If
backup is specified, the configuration database for the active software load is not saved.
Instead, the configuration database for the active software load that was saved
previously to persistent storage, is transferred to a remote server.
You can use either TFTP or FTP to communicate with the remote server. By default, the
config-save command uses TFTP. If you specify FTP, you can also specify the username
and password. The default FTP username is anonymous and the default FTP password is
root@<nodeip>, where <nodeip> is the IP address of AP making the request. If you do
not use the default FTP username, the FTP server must be configured to accept your
username and password.
4.4.2 Restoring the Configuration Database
config-restore remoteip <ipaddress> remotefile <filename>
[{tftp|ftp [user <usrname> password <pword>]}]]
[force]

This command transfers the configuration database from a remote server to the active
software load in persistent storage. This allows you to restore the entire configuration
database from a previously saved backup copy.
Use the reboot command for the new configuration to take effect.
You can use either TFTP or FTP to communicate with the remote server. By default, the
config-restore command uses TFTP. If you specify FTP, you can also specify the user
name and password. The default FTP user name is anonymous and the default FTP
password is root@<nodeip>, where <nodeip> is the IP address of AP making the
request. If you do not use the default FTP username, the FTP server must be configured
to accept your username and password.
The optional force parameter suppresses version checking on the configuration file that
is being downloaded. You can use a backup copy that was created with a different
version of software than the current software installed on the AP. If you do, Ericsson
strongly recommends that you fully and thoroughly verify the configuration and
operation of the AP after you reboot the system and before you save the restored
configuration.
Example
/# cd system
/system# config-restore remoteip 122.45.6.123 remotefile unitA.conf
