ap-name (AP provisioning view)

Function

The ap-name command sets the name of an AP.

The undo ap-name command disables the AC from delivering this parameter setting to APs after the configuration is delivered using the commit command.

By default, no AP name is configured.

Format

ap-name ap-new-name

undo ap-name

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Value
ap-new-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 Guidelines

Usage Scenario

After the name of an AP is changed and the change is delivered to the AP, the AP goes online using the new name.

Precautions

The new AP name cannot be the same as the existing AP name.

If the AP name is not configured, the default name of an AP is the AP's MAC address after the AP goes online.

Follow-up Procedure

Run the commit command to deliver the configuration to the AP.

Example

# Change the AP name to AP-N1-2.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] wlan
[HUAWEI-wlan-view] provision-ap
[HUAWEI-wlan-provision-ap] ap-name AP-N1-2
