WLAN AP: Defining AP-Name within CLI Prompt

[M_Nees]

Because i am working for deeper troubleshooting directly on AP CLI, I am looking for a way how to see/set the AP-Name within CLI Prompt.

(Working with IdentiFi WLAN)

Here my solution (with help of my collegue):
PS1="'grep -i apname /home/config/current.cfg | cut -b 13-' # "To make it persistant after reboot (but maybe not after update):
echo 'PS1="'grep -i apname /home/config/current.cfg | cut -b 13-' # "' >> ~/.profile

Hopefully anybody else needs this too!

Hi Robert,

could you add a link to this thread to the GTAC Knowledge article?

Thanks,

I like the idea of showing the AP name in the prompt as well.

This can be easily implemented by Extreme in the /etc/profile file and the commands from the first post.

Overriding the system default for the prompt (which is fallback to Busybox default of unset PS1) using $HOME/.profile is appropriate for customer (or partner) implemented configuration changes on the AP.

OK so we've 42.85% of the Embassadors who support the idea 

I certainly like it.
