Cisco question

I have a Cisco 857w and would like to know how to enable / disable the wireless through the command line. I don't like having to keep going into the SDM to do it.

Thanks in advance.

at a guess something like

en
(enable password)
conf t
interface Dot11Radio0
shutdown

Ok that wasn't a total guess

, just going on memory from a Cisco WAP i set up recently

Thanks, i guess that turns it off. How do you turn it on?

oddjob62 · 20 Oct 2008 at 20:22

same but "no shut" instead of shutdown

remember you have to do a:
"do wr mem" (do write memory)

to save the config if you want it to stay that way after reboot.

It doesnt like the interface Dot11Radio0 bit, errors at the D.

so after interface put a space and a question mark to see what it offers you...?

oddjob62 · 20 Oct 2008 at 20:34

might be interface Dot11Radio 0

CliffyG · 20 Oct 2008 at 20:36

Looks like its
Virtual-Dot11Radio Virtual dot11 interface

Actually it lists exactly what was typed above as an option when doign interface ? but doesn't like it when i type D and tab.

OK done, it was:

interface Dot11Radio 0

Cheers for the help
