CLI Reference Guide

l The startup config holds the configuration which will be used the next time the controller is rebooted. It contains
all the options last saved using the write memory command. To view the startup-config, use the following
command:
(host) # show startup-config
When you make configuration changes via the CLI, those changes affect the current running configuration only. If
the changes are not saved, they will be lost after the controller reboots. To save your configuration changes so they
are retained in the startup configuration after the controller reboots, use the following command in enable mode:
(host) # write memory
Saving Configuration...
Saved Configuration
Both the startup and running configurations can also be saved to a file or sent to a TFTP server for backup or
transfer to another system.
Commands That Reset the Controller or AP
If you use the CLI to modify a currently provisioned and running radio profile, those changes take place
immediately; you do not reboot the controller or the AP for the changes to affect the current running configuration.
Certain commands, however, automatically force the controller or AP to reboot. You may want to consider current
network loads and conditions before issuing these commands, as they may cause a momentary disruption in service
as the unit resets. Note also that changing the lms-ip parameter in an AP system profile associated with an AP group
will cause all APs in that AP group to reboot.
