Usage Guidelines

If the name of an AP conflicts with that of another or an AP requires a more proper name, you can run this command to change the name of the AP.

If a new AP name is the same as an existing AP name, the new AP is restarted after its name is changed.

Example

# Change the AP name from N1-2 to N2-2.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] wlan 
[HUAWEI-wlan-view] ap-rename ap-name N1-2 new-name N2-2
