Using the Cisco SWAN CLIUsing the Cisco SWAN CLI
The Command Line Interface allows operators to configure any Cisco Wireless LAN Controller and its
associated Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access points using the Command Line Interface. Refer to the
following sections or refer to the Cisco SWAN CLI Reference
for more information:
• Logging Into the CLI
- Using a Local Serial Connection
- Using a Remote Ethernet Connection
• Logging Out of the CLI
• Navigating the CLI
• Using the Startup Wizard
• Saving Configurations
• Erasing the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Configuration
• Resetting the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller
Logging Into the CLILogging Into the CLI
You may access the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller CLI using either of two methods:
• A direct ASCII serial connection to the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Console Port.
• A remote console session over Ethernet through the pre-configured Service Port or Distribution
System Ports (configured using the Cisco 2000 Series Wireless LAN Controller Quick Start
Guide or Cisco 4100 Series Wireless LAN Controller Quick Start Guide).
The following sections contain information on how to use the Command Line Interface. This document
assumes the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller has been initialized as described in the Cisco 2000 Series
Wireless LAN Controller Quick Start Guide or Cisco 4100 Series Wireless LAN Controller Quick Start
Guide.
Before you log into the Command Line Interface, you must configure your connectivity and environ-
ment variables based on the type of connection you are using. Refer to the appropriate section for your
connection:
• Using a Local Serial Connection
• Using a Remote Ethernet Connection
Using a Local Serial ConnectionUsing a Local Serial Connection
You will need:
• A computer running a terminal emulation program and a DB-9 serial port.
• A DB-9 male to female null-modem serial cable.
Use this procedure to configure a serial connection to your Cisco Wireless LAN Controller:
1. Connect your computer to the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller using the DB-9 null-modem serial
cable as shown in the following figure.
Note: You can use the local serial connection at any time, whether or not the Cisco
Wireless LAN Controller has been configured as described in the Cisco 2000 Series
Wireless LAN Controller Quick Start Guide or Cisco 4100 Series Wireless LAN
Controller Quick Start Guide.
