retained upon reboot, use the save config command at the CLI root level.
•To reset the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller without logging out, use the reset system
command at the root level of the CLI tree structure.

Viewing Network StatusViewing Network Status
Use the following Command Line Interface commands to view the status of the network controlled by a
Cisco Wireless LAN Controller.
•Use the show client commands to display client information for each Cisco 1000 Series
lightweight access point 802.11a and 802.11b/g RF coverage area, to display detailed
information for a client connected through a particular Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access
point, and display a summary of clients connected through the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller:
>show client ap [802.11a/802.11b] <Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access
point>
>show client detail <MAC addr>
>show client summary
If you need to, use the config client deauthenticate command to deauthenticate an indi-
vidual <MAC address>.
•Use the show rogue-ap summary and show rogue-ap detail commands to discover rogue
access points on the subnet. If necessary, use the config rogue-ap acknowledged, config
rogue-ap alert, and config rogue-ap known commands to mark the rogue access points in
the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller database.
•In general, use the show commands to view the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller status.
•To test a link to a MAC address, use the linktest command at the CLI root level. Note that
linktest does not work for IPSec links and does not work from Cisco 1000 Series lightweight
access points.
•To ping an IP Address, use the ping command at the CLI root level.
