ap_name: This is an AP identifier which uniquely identifies an AP in the list of configured APs. Enabled: An AP can be disabled if not in use and enabled as needed. The AP is disabled if this field has the value 'N' and it is enabled if it has the value 'Y'. Disabling an AP does not delete the configuration, but stops the AP. Enabling the AP creates a wireless network where computers and other devices can join and communicate with the devices connected to the access point or the devices on the Local Area Network (LAN). SSID: The name or Service Set Identifier (SSID) is the name of the wireless network serviced by this AP. Note that since a given wireless profile can be common to multiple APs, the SSID is not unique to an AP. In order for computers or devices to communicate via this wireless network serviced by this AP, all devices must select the same SSID from the list of wireless networks in the area.Broadcast: The field indicates whether SSID is broadcasted or not in the beacon frames transmitted by the AP. If SSID is not broadcasted, the wireless devices will not be able to see the network name (SSID). If this field has the value 'Y', it indicates that the AP's SSID is broadcasted to the public. If it is 'N' it indicates the SSID is not to be broadcasted and a device would have to specify the SSID exactly to connect to this AP. Profile: This field has a brief description of the security, encryption and authentication combination assigned to the AP. A Profile is not necessarily unique to an AP, rather this grouping of wireless settings can be used on more than one AP at the same time. Radio: The physical radio(s) on which this AP is running on. An AP can run on multiple radios at the same time for load-balancing and better throughput. VLAN: The AP can be a part of a logical network defined by the VLAN id. This allows devices connected to the VLAN through this AP to exchange data with one another as in a LAN. If the optional argument ap_name is specified, the following configuration information is displayed for the access point. Beacon Interval: The amount of time in milliseconds between beacon transmissions. DTIM Interval: Interval for delivery of traffic 17

ap_name:
This is an AP identifier which
uniquely identifies an AP in the list of configured
APs.
Enabled:
An AP can be disabled if not in
use and enabled as needed. The AP is disabled
if this field has the value 'N' and it is enabled if it
has the value 'Y'. Disabling an AP does not
delete the configuration, but stops the AP.
Enabling the AP creates a wireless network
where computers and other devices can join and
communicate with the devices connected to the
access point or the devices on the Local Area
Network (LAN).
SSID:
The name or Service Set
Identifier (SSID) is the name of the wireless
network serviced by this AP. Note that since a
given wireless profile can be common to multiple
APs, the SSID is not unique to an AP. In order
for computers or devices to communicate via
this wireless network serviced by this AP, all
devices must select the same SSID from the list
of wireless networks in the area.
Broadcast:
The field indicates whether SSID is broadcasted
or not in the beacon frames transmitted by the
AP. If SSID is not broadcasted, the wireless
devices will not be able to see the network name
(SSID). If this field has the value 'Y', it indicates
that the AP's SSID is broadcasted to the public.
If it is 'N' it indicates the SSID is not to be
broadcasted and a device would have to specify
the SSID exactly to connect to this AP.
Profile:
This field has a brief description of the
security,
encryption
and
authentication
combination assigned to the AP. A Profile is not
necessarily unique to an AP, rather this
grouping of wireless settings can be used on
more than one AP at the same time.
Radio:
The physical radio(s) on which this AP is
running on. An AP can run on multiple radios at
the same time for load-balancing and better
throughput.
VLAN:
The AP can be a part of a logical network
defined by the VLAN id. This allows devices
connected to the VLAN through this AP to
exchange data with one another as in a LAN. If
the optional argument ap_name is specified, the
following configuration information is displayed
for the access point.
Beacon Interval:
The amount of time in
milliseconds between beacon transmissions.
DTIM Interval:
Interval for delivery of traffic
