6.3.2 CLI MCC Configuration

The Thread CLI MCC configuration offers the option to select the Thread Device Role, with only two choices available in the CLI configuration: FTD and MTD. It is important to note that RCP is not supported in the CLI. The device role selected in the CLI will update the device role in the Thread stack configuration, which will then populate the device role-specific configurations in the Thread Stack Configuration options. By default, the device role in the CLI is set to FTD.

The image below illustrates the CLI configuration based on the selected device role and its corresponding options.

Configuration of CLI and FTD - The device role selected as FTD in the CLI configuration corresponds to the device role specified in the thread stack configuration, as shown in the image below. There are no limitations in FTD configuration when CLI services are included.

Configuration of CLI and MTD - The device role selected as MTD in the CLI configuration corresponds to the device role specified in the thread stack configuration, as shown in the image below. The option to enable Sleep mode cannot be selected while CLI services are in use.
