Saving Configuration Changes
The Professional Access Point maintains three different configurations.
• Factory Default Configuration - This configuration consists of the default settings shipped with the
access point (as specified in
“Default Settings for the Professional Access Point” on page 16).
You can always return the access point to the factory defaults by using the factory-reset command, as
described in
“Reset the Access Point to Factory Defaults” on page 247.
• Startup Configuration - The startup configuration contains the settings that the access point will use
the next time it starts up (for example, upon reboot).
To save configuration updates made from the CLI to the startup configuration, you must execute the
save-running or "set config startup running" command from the CLI after making changes.
• Running Configuration - The running configuration contains the settings with which the access point
is currently running.
When you view or update configuration settings through the command line interface (CLI) using get,
set, add, and remove commands, you are viewing and changing values on the running configuration
only. If you do not save the configuration (by executing the save-running or "set config startup running"
command at the CLI), you will lose any changes you submitted via the CLI upon reboot.
The save-running command saves the running configuration as the startup configuration. (The save-running
command is a shortcut command for "set config startup running", which accomplishes the same thing)
Settings updated from the CLI (with get, set, add, remove commands) will not be saved to the startup
configuration unless you explicitly save them via the save-running command. This gives you the option of
maintaining the startup configuration and trying out values on the running configuration that you can
discard (by not saving).
By contrast, configuration changes made from the Web User Interface are automatically saved to both the
running and startup configurations. If you make changes from the Web User Interface that you do not want
to keep, your only option is to reset to factory defaults. The previous startup configuration will be lost.
wlan0wdsx
A wireless distribution system (WDS) interface where "x" indicates the number of
