This guide is for the networking professional using the Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI) to manage Cisco Aironet access points and bridges that run Cisco IOS software. Before using this guide, you should have experience working with Cisco IOS commands and access point and bridge software features; you also need to be familiar with the concepts and terminology of Ethernet and local area networking.

Purpose

This guide provides information about new and revised Cisco IOS commands. For information about the standard Cisco IOS commands, refer to the IOS documentation set available from the Cisco.com home page by selecting Service and Support > Technical Documents. On the Cisco Product Documentation home page, select Release 12.3 from the Cisco IOS Software drop-down list.

This guide does not provide procedures for configuring your access point or bridge. For detailed configuration procedures, refer to the Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points, the Cisco Aironet 1300 Series Outdoor Access Point/ Bridge Software Configuration Guide, or the Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Bridge Software Configuration Guide for this release.
