Configure the Stratix 5100 WAP Using the
Command-Line Interface
This chapter describes the Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI) that you can
use to configure the wireless device.
Cisco IOS Command Modes
The Cisco IOS user interface is divided into many different modes. The
commands available to you depend on the mode you are currently in. Enter a
question mark (?) at the system prompt to obtain a list of commands available for
each command mode.
When you start a session on the wireless device, you begin in user mode, often
called user EXEC mode. A subset of the Cisco IOS commands are available in
user EXEC mode. For example, most of the user EXEC commands are one-time
commands, such as show commands, that show the current configuration status,
and clear commands, that clear counters or interfaces. The user EXEC
commands are not saved when the wireless device restarts.
To have access to all commands, you must enter privileged EXEC mode.
Normally, you must enter a password to enter privileged EXEC mode. From this
mode, you must enter privileged EXEC mode before you can enter the global
configuration mode.
