Using the CLI

The Cisco UWN Solution command line interface (CLI) is built into each controller. The CLI allows you
to use a VT-100 emulator to locally or remotely configure, monitor, and control individual controllers
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.
Refer to the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Command Reference for information on specific commands.
