Resetting the Cisco Wireless LAN ControllerResetting the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller
After you have installed and configured a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller, you can reset the Cisco
Wireless LAN Controller and view the reboot process on the CLI console using one of the following two
methods:
•Unplug the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller from its power source.
•Enter the reset system command. The reset script prompts you if there are any unsaved
changes. Enter ‘y’ to save changes from active volatile RAM to NVRAM (non-volatile RAM)
before rebooting the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller.
When the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller reboots, the CLI console displays the following reboot
information:
•Initializing the system.
•Verifying the hardware configuration.
•Loading microcode into memory.
•Verifying the Operating System software load.
•Initializing with its stored configurations.
•Displaying the login prompt.
You have seen the boot process on the CLI console. Either unplug your serial connection, or enter a
valid login and password to reenter the CLI.
Continue with Using the Cisco WLAN Solution CLI.
Note: If you have already cleared the active volatile RAM as described in Clearing
Configurations, entering ‘n’ in response to this prompt prevents the volatile RAM to
NVRAM (non-volatile RAM) from overwriting the cleared configuration in NVRAM. In
this case you will be directed to the Startup Wizard.
