UBNT AirFiber CLI Commands (AF-5x)

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.

  1. 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?

    1. Kevin,

      The default configuration file is located at /etc/default.cfg

      Revised 3/8/2018: I have tested this on a AirFiber AF-5X w/ firmware revision 4.0.3.

      Commands to restore default configuration from an ssh console

      AF06.v4.0.3# cat /etc/default.cfg > /tmp/system.cfg
      AF06.v4.0.3# save
      Found  Active on[1] ...
      Found Backup1 on[2] ...
      Storing Active[2] ... [%100]
      Active->Backup[1] ... [%100]
      AF06.v4.0.3# reboot
      
  2. 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?

  3. 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.

      1. 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….

  4. 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

  5. One side of my AF24 connection keeps dropping the Ethernet connection to 100mbps. Been trying to find out how to test for the eth connection speed.

    Thanks! Will ssh in and test against dpstat value and text me if it drops. Hate to be told by the customer that bandwidth is limited by the 100mbps choke.

  6. Is there a way to enable Web Server/HTTPS through CLI. I think it got turned off on a link we manage and now we cant get to it’s GUI.

  7. algun comando para cambiar frecuencia al aifiber 5x hd

    english translation: some command to change frequency to the aifiber 5x hd

  8. Hi There, I’m trying to access airfiber24 over gui but get error below on chrome but not on old versions of IE would it be cert issue on the radio or something on the browser it is just version 3.2 so firmware a little old as well.
    Unsupported protocol
    The client and server don’t support a common SSL protocol version or cipher suite
