Chapter 5 Configure the Stratix 5100 WAP Using the Command-Line Interface
You can make changes to the running configuration by using the configuration
modes: global, interface, and line. If you save the configuration, these commands
are stored and used when the wireless device restarts. To access the various
configuration modes, you must start at global configuration mode. From global
configuration mode, you can enter interface configuration mode and line
configuration mode.
This table describes the main command modes, how to access each one, the
prompt you see in that mode, and how to exit the mode. The examples in the
table use the host name ap.
Getting Help You can enter a question mark (?) at the system prompt to display a list of
commands available for each command mode. You can also obtain a list of
associated keywords and arguments for any command, as shown in this table.
