D-Link Unified Access Point Administrator's Guide AP and details on how to save your updates, see "Saving Configuration Changes" on page 133. Using the get Command The "get" command allows you to get the property values of existing instances of a class. Classes can be "named" or "unnamed." The command syntax is: get unnamed-class [ property ... | detail ] get named-class [ instance | all [ property ... | name | detail ] ] The rest of the command line is optional. If provided, it is either a list of one or more properties, or the keyword detail. The following example uses the "get" command on an unnamed class with a single instance: get log There is only one log on the AP, so the command returns information on the log file. The following example uses the "get" command on an unnamed class with multiple instances: get log-entry There are multiple log entries but they are not named, so this command returns all log entries. The following example uses the "get" command on a named class with multiple instances: get bss wlan0bssvap0 There are multiple BSSes and they are named, so this command returns information on the BSS named "wlan0bssvap0." The following example uses the "get" command on a named class to get all instances: get mac-acl all mac get mac-acl all NOTE: wlan0bssvap0 is the name of the basic service set (BSS) on the wlan0 interface. For information on interfaces, see "Interface Naming Convention" on page 132. Using the set Command The "set" command allows you to set the property values of existing instances of a class and has the following syntax set unnamed-class [ with qualifier-property qualifier-value ... to ] property value . . . The first argument is an unnamed class in the configuration. After this is an optional qualifier that restricts the set to only some instances. For singleton classes (with only one instance) no qualifier is needed. If there is a qualifier, it starts with the keyword with, then has a sequence of one or more qualifier-property qualifier-value pairs, and ends with the keyword to. If these are included, then only instances whose present value of qualifier-property is qualifier-value will be set. The qualifier-value arguments cannot contain spaces. Therefore, you cannot select instances whose desired qualifier-value has a space in it. 128 © 2001-2008 D-Link Corporation. All Rights Reserved.

D-Link Unified Access Point Administrator’s Guide

AP and details on how to save your updates, see

“Saving Configuration

Changes”

on page 133.

Using the get Command

The “get” command allows you to get the property values of existing instances of a class.

Classes can be “named” or “unnamed.” The command syntax is:

get

unnamed-class

[

property

... |

detail

]

get

named-class

[

instance

all

[

property

... |

name

detail

] ]

The rest of the command line is optional. If provided, it is either a list of one or more

properties

, or the keyword

detail

The following example uses the “get” command on an unnamed class with a single instance:

get log

There is only one log on the AP, so the command returns information on the log file.

The following example uses the “get” command on an unnamed class with multiple instances:

get log-entry

There are multiple log entries but they are not named, so this command returns all log entries.

The following example uses the “get” command on a named class with multiple instances:

get bss

wlan0bssvap0

There are multiple BSSes and they are named, so this command returns information on the

BSS

named “wlan0bssvap0.”

The following example uses the “get” command on a named class to get all instances:

get mac-acl all mac

get mac-acl all

NOTE:

wlan0bssvap0

is the name of the basic service set (

BSS

) on the

wlan0

interface. For information on

interfaces

, see

“Interface Naming Convention”

on page 132.

Using the set Command

The “set” command allows you to set the property values of existing instances of a class and

has the following syntax

set

unnamed-class

[

with

qualifier-property qualifier-value

...

]

property

value . . .

The first argument is an unnamed class in the configuration.

After this is an optional qualifier that restricts the set to only some instances. For singleton

classes (with only one instance) no qualifier is needed. If there is a qualifier, it starts with the

keyword

with

, then has a sequence of one or more

qualifier-property

qualifier-value

pairs,

and ends with the keyword

. If these are included, then only instances whose present value

qualifier-property

qualifier-value

will be set. The

qualifier-value

arguments cannot

contain spaces. Therefore, you cannot select instances whose desired

qualifier-value

has a

space in it.
