Se ction 4: Interfa ce Na ming C onve ntions
The following summary of interface names is provided to help clarify the related CLI commands and output results. These
names are not exposed on the Web UI, but are used throughout the CLI. You get and set many configuration values on the
AP by referring to interfaces. In order to configure the AP through the CLI, you need to understand which interfaces are
available on the AP, what role they play (corresponding settings on the Web UI), and how to refer to them. To view a list of
the interface names and an associated description, use
Table 4 describes the interface naming conventions for the WLAN AP.
Note: Use the get interface
addresses.
Interface Description
brtrunk Internal bridge trunk interface.
lo Local loopback for data meant for the access point itself.
eth0 The Ethernet interface connected to the Internal network.
wlan0 The default wireless interface on radio 1. This is the interface for virtual access point (VAP) 0.
wlan1 The default wireless interface on radio 2. This is the interface for VAP 0.
wlan0vap x The wireless interface for the x VAP on radio 1. The value for x ranges from 1–15.
wlan1vap x The wireless interface for the x VAP on radio 2. The value for x ranges from 1–15.
wlan0bssvap x The basic service set interface for the x VAP on radio 1. The value for x ranges from 0–15.
wlan1bssvap x The basic service set interface for the x VAP on radio 2. The value for x ranges from 0–15.
wlan0wds x A wireless distribution system (WDS) interface where x indicates the number of the WDS link. The
WDS interface allows you to configure wireless bridging and repeating. The value for x ranges from
0–3.
Note: The commands and examples in this appendix use radio 1. To configure and view information about the
second radio, replace the "wlan0" portion of the interface name with wlan1. Use the command get radio all to view
information about the radios on the WLAN AP.
get interface all description
command to display common information on all interfaces, including IP
