Performing the Initial Configuration on the Controller
Using the Cisco IOS-XE CLI - Cisco Setup Command Facility
The
setup
command facility prompts you to enter the information that is needed to configure a controller
quickly. The facility takes you through an initial configuration, including wireless configurations.
The setup command facility is entered automatically if there is no configuration on the controller when it is
booted into Cisco IOS-XE.
