OL-7426-02
Use the reset system command, described in Resetting the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller,
which will ask you whether you would like to save configuration changes before the system
reboots.
Use the logout command, described in Logging Out of the CLI, which asks you whether you
would like to save configuration changes before logging out.
To save the configurations without resetting the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller or logging out of the CLI,
type:
>save config
Are you sure you want to save? (y/n)
Enter ‘y’ to save the current configurations from volatile RAM to non-volatile RAM (NVRAM).
You can now continue using the system, log out, or reboot knowing that the Cisco Wireless LAN
Controller will come up in the same configuration after reboot.
Continue with Using the Cisco SWAN CLI.

Erasing the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller ConfigurationErasing the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Configuration
The Wireless LAN operator may wish to move a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller to a different location and
reconfigure it.
If the moved Cisco Wireless LAN Controller uses the same or nearly the same configuration, use the
Cisco Wireless Control System, Web User Interface, or Command Line Interface to reconfigure indi-
vidual Cisco Wireless LAN Controller parameters.
If the moved Cisco Wireless LAN Controller uses a significantly different configuration, erase the Cisco
Wireless LAN Controller configuration using the following procedure.
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 before rebooting the
Cisco Wireless LAN Controller.
