CHAPTER 5: COMMAND LINE INTERFACE Configuration Commands Configuration commands are used to modify access point settings. These commands modify the running configuration and are saved in memory. The configuration commands are organized into four different modes: • Global Configuration (GC) - These commands modify the system level configuration, and include commands such as username and password. • Interface-Ethernet Configuration (IC-E) - These commands modify the Ethernet port configuration, and include command such as dns and ip. • Interface-Wireless Configuration (IC-W) - These commands modify the wireless port configuration of global parameters for the radio, and include commands such as channel and transmit-power. • Interface-Wireless Virtual Access Point Configuration (IC-W-VAP) - These commands modify the wireless port configuration for each VAP, and include commands such as ssid and authentication. To enter the Global Configuration mode, enter the command configure in Exec mode. The system prompt will change to "Enterprise AP(config)#" which gives you access privilege to all Global Configuration commands. Enterprise AP#configure Enterprise AP(config)# To enter Interface mode, you must enter the "interface ethernet," or "interface wireless a," or "interface wireless g" command while in Global Configuration mode. The system prompt will change to "Enterprise AP(if-ethernet)#," or Enterprise AP(if-wireless)" indicating that you have access privileges to the associated commands. You can use the end command to return to the Exec mode. Enterprise AP(config)#interface ethernet Enterprise AP(if-ethernet)# Command Line Processing Commands are not case sensitive. You can abbreviate commands and parameters as long as they contain enough letters to differentiate them from any other currently available commands or parameters. You can use the Tab key to complete partial commands, or enter a partial command followed by the "?" character to display a list of possible matches. You can also use the following editing keystrokes for command-line processing: 5-6

Configuration Commands
Configuration commands are used to modify access point settings. These
commands modify the running configuration and are saved in memory.
The configuration commands are organized into four different modes:
• Global Configuration (GC) - These commands modify the system level
configuration, and include commands such as
username
and
password
.
• Interface-Ethernet Configuration (IC-E) - These commands modify the Ethernet
port configuration, and include command such as
dns
and
ip
.
• Interface-Wireless Configuration (IC-W) - These commands modify the wireless
port configuration of global parameters for the radio, and include commands
such as
channel
and
transmit-power
.
• Interface-Wireless Virtual Access Point Configuration (IC-W-VAP) - These
commands modify the wireless port configuration for each VAP, and include
commands such as
ssid
and
authentication
.
To enter the Global Configuration mode, enter the command
configure
in Exec
mode. The system prompt will change to “Enterprise AP(config)#” which gives
you access privilege to all Global Configuration commands.
To enter Interface mode, you must enter the “
interface
ethernet
,” or
interface wireless a
,” or “
interface wireless g
” command while in Global
Configuration mode. The system prompt will change to “Enterprise
AP(if-ethernet)#,” or Enterprise AP(if-wireless)” indicating that you have access
privileges to the associated commands. You can use the
end
command to return
to the Exec mode.
Command Line Processing
Commands are not case sensitive. You can abbreviate commands and parameters
as long as they contain enough letters to differentiate them from any other
currently available commands or parameters. You can use the Tab key to
complete partial commands, or enter a partial command followed by the “?”
character to display a list of possible matches. You can also use the following
editing keystrokes for command-line processing:
Enterprise AP#configure
Enterprise AP(config)#
Enterprise AP(config)#interface ethernet
Enterprise AP(if-ethernet)#
