Cisco Aironet Wave 2 User Manual

Understanding Command Modes
The Cisco Aironet Wave 2 AP command line interface is divided into the following two different modes:
• User EXEC mode—When you start a session on the AP, you begin in the User EXEC mode. Only a
limited subset of the commands are available in this mode. Also, the show commands that are available
in the User EXEC mode are a subset of the show commands that are available in the Privileged EXEC
mode.
The user EXEC commands are not saved when the AP is rebooted.
• Privileged EXEC mode—In this mode, you will have access to all commands. You are required to enter
a password to enter the Privileged EXEC mode.
The commands available to you depend on which mode you are currently in. Enter a question mark (?) at the
system prompt to obtain a list of commands available for the command mode you are in. For example, here
are the list of User EXEC mode commands available:
