Global Configuration Mode
You make changes to the running configuration by using the Global Configuration
mode and its many submodes. Once you save the configuration, the settings are
stored and restarted when the controller reboots.
From the Global Configuration mode, you can navigate to various submodes (or
branches), to perform more specific configuration functions. Some configuration
submodes are security, qosrules, vlan, and so forth.
 Description: configures parameters that apply to the controller as a whole.
 Access method: Enter configure terminal while in privileged EXEC mode.
 Prompt: controller(config)#

Exit method: enter exit or press Ctrl-Z to return to privileged EXEC mode (one
level back).
 Summary: Use this mode to configure some system settings and to enter additional
configuration submodes (security, qosrules, vlan).
