Question

How to get the AP name from the AP Command Line?

Customer Environment

Ruckus Access Points AP-ZD, AP-SZ

Symptoms

While working in the AP CLI, we might want to know what is the name of the AP for different purposes such as, setting logging for the AP and we need find what is the AP name or Look into the UI for the same AP. While we could navigate to the v/SZ, search with the AP IP and copy corresponding AP name, it is handy to have an AP CLI which prints the AP name.

Resolution

The AP CLI which provides AP name is:

rkscli: get device-name
device name : 'RuckusAP'
OK

The get device- in general is a very useful command which provides us different AP related information such as Floor Name, GPS co-ordinates, location etc:
rkscli: get device-
Commands starting with 'get device-' :
get device-floor : get device-floor
                 -- Display device Floor/Altitude
get device-gps : get device-gps
                 -- Display device GPS coordinates
get device-location : get device-location
                 -- Show device location
get device-name : get device-name
                 -- Show device name

We can also change the AP name using this CLI example:

rkscli: set device-name KnowMyName
OK
rkscli: get device-name
device name : 'KnowMyName'
OK
