Using the Configuration Wizard
Running the Configuration Wizard on the CLI
When the controller boots at factory defaults, the bootup script runs the configuration wizard, which
prompts the installer for initial configuration settings. Follow these steps to enter settings using the
wizard on the CLI.
Note
To configure the controller in the Catalyst 3750G Integrated Wireless LAN Controller Switch, Cisco
recommends that you use the GUI configuration wizard that launches from the 3750 Device Manager.
Refer to the
Catalyst 3750G Integrated Wireless LAN Controller Switch Getting Started Guide
for
instructions.
Note
The available options appear in brackets after each configuration parameter. The default value appears
in all uppercase letters.
Note
If you enter an incorrect response, the controller provides you with an appropriate error message, such
as “Invalid Response,” and returns you to the wizard prompt.
