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 "AP(config)#" which gives you access
privilege to all Global Configuration commands.
