1.1 CLI Overview
The CLI is used for configuring, monitoring, and maintaining the controller managed network. The user interface allows
you to execute commands on supported controllers and AP models, using either a serial console or a remote access
method.
This chapter describes basic CLI features. Topics covered include an introduction to command modes, navigation and
editing features, help features and command history.
The CLI is segregated into different command modes. Each mode has its own set of commands for configuration,
maintenance and monitoring. The commands available at any given time depend on the mode you are in, and to a lesser
extent, the particular model used. Enter a question mark (?) at the system prompt to view a list of commands available for
each command mode/instance.
Use specific commands to navigate from one command mode to another. The standard order is: USER EXEC mode, PRIV
EXEC mode and GLOBAL CONFIG mode.

Command Modes
A session generally begins in the USER EXEC mode (one of the two access levels of the EXEC mode). For security, only a
limited subset of EXEC commands are available in the USER EXEC mode. This level is reserved for tasks that do not change
the controller configuration.

The system prompt signifies the device name and the last three bytes of the device MAC address.
To access commands, enter the PRIV EXEC mode (the second access level for the EXEC mode). Once in the PRIV EXEC mode,
enter any EXEC command. The PRIV EXEC mode is a superset of the USER EXEC mode.

Most of the USER EXEC mode commands are one-time commands and are not saved across controller reboots. Save the
command by executing ‘commit’ command. For example, the show command displays the current configuration and the
clear command clears the interface.
