The ap-name command configures an AP name.
The undo ap-name command restores the default AP name.
By default, no AP name is configured for an AP.
| Parameter | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
ap-name |
Specifies an AP name. |
The value is a string of 1 to 63 case-sensitive characters, which can be Chinese characters or Chinese + English characters. It cannot contain question marks (?), and cannot start or end with spaces or double quotation marks (" "). If the AP name contains spaces, the input name must start and end with a quotation mark ("), for example, "huawei name1". The quotation marks at the beginning and end of the AP name occupy two characters in total.
NOTE:
You can only use a command editor of the UTF-8 encoding format to edit Chinese characters. |
Usage Scenario
To facilitate AP maintenance, management, and differentiation, you can name the AP according to actual situations.
Precautions
The new AP name cannot be the same as the existing AP name.
If a new AP name is the same as an existing AP name, the new AP is restarted after its name is changed.
If the AP name is not configured, the default name of an AP is the AP's MAC address after the AP goes online.
# Change the AP name to AP-N1-2.
