Chapter 2 Using the Web-Browser and CLI Interfaces

Using the CLI

Step 9 Reboot the controller:

>reset system

Are you sure you would like to reset the system? (y/n) y

System will now restart!

The controller reboots.

Disabling the GUI

To prevent all use of the GUI, select the Disable Web-Based Management check box on the Services: HTTP-Web Server page and click Apply.

To re-enable the GUI, enter this command on the CLI:

>ip http server

Using Online Help

Click the help icon at the top of any page in the GUI to display online help. You might have to disable the browser pop-up blocker to view online help.

Using the CLI

The CLI allows you to use a VT-100 emulator to locally or remotely configure, monitor, and control a WLAN controller and its associated lightweight access points. The CLI is a simple text-based, tree-structured interface that allows up to five users with Telnet-capable terminal emulators to access the controller.

Logging into the CLI

You access the CLI using either of two methods:

•A direct ASCII serial connection to the controller console port

•A remote console session over Ethernet through the pre-configured Service Port or through Distribution System Ports

Before you log into the CLI, configure your connectivity and environment variables based on the type of connection you use.
