About the Command Line Interface

The Cisco WLAN Solution command line interface (CLI) is built into each Cisco Wireless LAN Controller, and is one of the Operating System user interfaces described in About the Cisco Wireless LAN Solution. The CLI allows operators to use a VT-100 emulator to locally or remotely configure, monitor and control individual Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers, and to access extensive debugging capabilities.

Because the CLI works with one Cisco Wireless LAN Controller at a time, the command line interface is especially useful when you wish to configure or monitor a single Cisco Wireless LAN Controller.

The Cisco Wireless LAN Controller and its associated Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access points can be configured and monitored using the command line interface (CLI), which consists of a simple text-based, tree-structured interface that allows up to five users with Telnet-capable terminal emulators to simultaneously configure and monitor all aspects of the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller and associated Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access points.

Refer to Using the Cisco WLAN Solution CLI and the Cisco WLAN Solution CLI Reference for more information.
