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 system name 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 beacon-interval.
◆ 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 encryption.
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.
