Follow these steps to log into the controller.

Enter a valid username and password to log into the controller CLI.

The administrative username and password you created in the Startup Wizard are case sensitive.

The CLI displays the root level system prompt:

The system prompt can be any alphanumeric string up to 31 characters. You can change it by entering 
the config prompt command.

The CLI automatically logs you out without saving any changes after 5 minutes of inactivity. 
You can set the automatic logout from 0 (never log out) to 160 minutes using the config serial 
timeout command.

before allowing the access points to connect to it.

Follow these steps to verify that your interface configurations have been set properly and the controller’s
