UBNT AirFiber CLI Commands (AF-5x)
Here are all of the commands that you can issue on an Ubiquiti AirFiber Radio from an ssh terminal connection. I found myself always googling and digging through the ubiquiti forum to try and find the command I needed. I compiled all the known AirFiber commands here in one place. Enjoy!

af status – Prints AirFiber radio operational status.
Possible statuses are master-syncing, master-beaconing, master-operational, slave-syncing, slave-registering, slave-operational.

Great list. I’m looking to factory default a unit, but I don’t yet have access to it. I’m assuming af reset will factory default the unit?
Kevin,
The default configuration file is located at /etc/default.cfg
Commands to restore default configuration from an ssh console
Thanks a lot
I need a script on mikrotik that ssh login to an AF and get me the txcapacity for example and print on log or send it to telegram
any ideas?
Hi,
I found your commands for AirFiber. I have installed a licensed 11 Gig link and wonder if the commands are the same? I am opening the SSH port 22 and the reply is SSH-2.0-dropbear_0.51
If I send a command, say “af status” there is no reply. I have password authentication turned off.
I’m not sure, I do not have an AF11 to test on.
I have established a connection using Winsock…If this were the equipment you use, would it be correct to just send the command in plain text as af status….
I see my error, I must use Putty or similar program. However, by connecting to the TelNet server in the AF the commands you provided work for AF-11 although I only tried several of them. thanks for the information
