Summary

This is a very basic but important command about how to check the name of the AP from its CLI

Question

Customer Environment

Ruckus Access Points AP-ZD, AP-SZ

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
