When you start a session on the wireless device, you begin in user mode, often called user EXEC mode.
A subset of the Cisco IOS commands are available in user EXEC mode. For example, most of the user
EXEC commands are one-time commands, such as show commands, which show the current
configuration status, and clear commands, which clear counters or interfaces. The user EXEC
commands are not saved when the wireless device reboots.

Using the configuration modes (global, interface, and line), you can make changes to the running
