Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controller Command Reference (IOS XE 17.14.x)

Quick guide from the manual

This document serves as the primary command reference for the Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controller running Cisco IOS XE 17.14.x. It provides detailed syntax and usage information for the Command-Line Interface (CLI) required to manage and configure the network controller.

Using the Command-Line Interface

The CLI is the primary method for configuring and managing the wireless controller. Users must understand the different command modes to execute specific tasks:

• Command Modes: The CLI uses hierarchical modes (e.g., User EXEC, Privileged EXEC, Global Configuration). You must be in the correct mode to execute specific commands.
• Help System: Use the question mark (?) at any point in a command to see available options or command syntax.
• Abbreviated Commands: You can abbreviate commands as long as the abbreviation is unique enough to be recognized by the system.
• No and Default Forms: Most configuration commands have a 'no' form to disable a feature and a 'default' form to return a setting to its factory default.
• Configuration Logging: The system logs configuration changes, which can be reviewed for auditing purposes.

Configuration Commands

The manual provides an extensive list of configuration commands, organized alphabetically. This reference covers commands starting from 'a' through 'f'. Key areas include:

• AAA (Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting): Commands for configuring RADIUS, LDAP, and local authentication.
