What Is CLI? 
The command line interface (CLI) enables you to interact with your access point (AP) by typing text 
commands. At the CLI, you can instruct your AP to perform a given task by typing a text command and 
then pressing Enter to submit it to your AP. Compared with the graphical user interface (GUI) where you 
can use a mouse to perform configurations, the CLI allows you to input more information in one 
command line. The CLI of APs is as shown in 
Figure 4-1.
