5.2.10 Configuration Commands
Configuration commands are used to modify AP 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.
5.2.11 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 “?”
