set vlan config Configures list of VLANs and their network settings, to be monitored by ND or Sensor.
set ipv6 config Sets IPv6 network settings.
set mode Sets the mode to Sensor,Network Detector, or Sentry.
set communication key Sets the Sensor-Server shared secret. You need to enter a hexadecimal value, of length
32, as the shared secret. It can be used instead of the ‘set communication passphrase’
command. Use this command if you are comfortable working with hexadecimals.
set communication
passphrase Sets the Sensor-Server shared secret. You need to enter a character string, of length
between 10 and 127, as the shared secret. The string is internally converted to
hexadecimal format. It can be used instead of the‘set communication key’ command.

Symptoms Diagnosis Solution
LED1: Solid Orange
LED4: Fast Blink The AP did not receive
a valid IP address via
the DHCP.
The DHCP Server is unreachable. Restore the connectivity
to the DHCP Server or set a static IP address via the HTTP
interface or the Config Shell CLI.
LED1: Solid Orange
LED4: Slow Blink
Unable to connect to
the Server.
Ensure that the Server is running and is reachable from the
network to which the AP is attached. If there is a firewall or
a router with ACLs enabled between the AP and the Server,
ensure that the traffic is allowed on UDP port 3851.
If utilizing the Server ID based discovery, ensure that
multicast is enabled on the network.
Alternatively, if utilizing the Server IP based discovery,
ensure that the DNS name ‘wifi-security-server’ has been
correctly entered on the DNS Server. Also ensure that the
DNS Server IP addresses are either correctly configured on
the AP, or are provided by the DHCP Server.
It is also possible that the AP is unable to connect to the
Server because it has failed to authenticate with the
Server. If this is the case, there will be an 'Authentication
failed for AP's event raised on the Server. Refer to the
Event for recommended action.
LED1: Solid Orange
LED4: Solid Green The Ethernet cable is
