Note: The quickstart command is for configuration of a new wireless switch only. After prompting
you for verification, the command erases the switch’s configuration before continuing. If you run this
command on a switch that already has a configuration, the configuration will be erased. In addition,
error messages such as Critical AP Notice for directly connected APs can appear.
Note: Do not attempt to connect a monitor, keyboard, or mouse to the switch. Use only a null
modem cable connected to the serial console port.
