Exec Commands
When you open a new console session on an access point, the system enters Exec
command mode. Only a limited number of the commands are available in this mode.
You can access all other commands only from the configuration mode. To access
Exec mode, open a new console session with the user name “admin.” The
command prompt displays as “Enterprise AP#” for Exec mode.
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 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.
