How do I store the configuration files on the Wireless LAN Controller (WLC)?
A. The WLC contains two kinds of memory: • Volatile RAM—Holds the current, active controller configuration • Nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM)—Holds the reboot configuration When you configure the operating system in the WLC, you are modifying the volatile RAM. You must save the configuration from the volatile RAM to the NVRAM in order to make sure that the WLC reboots in the current configuration. It is important to know which memory you are modifying when you perform these tasks: • Use the configuration wizard. • Clear the controller configuration. • Save configurations. • Reset the controller. • Log out of the CLI. Features FAQ Q. How do I set the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) type on the Wireless LAN Controller (WLC)? I want to authenticate against an Access Control Server (ACS) appliance, and I get an “unsupported EAP” type in the logs. A. There is no separate EAP type setting on the WLC.
