9840 WLC How to Get Out of Express Setup???

I have a 9840 that I setup from defaults on the CLI. How do I get the GUI out of express setup?

I cannot find this anywhere in the configuration guise.

 

Also, what do the different "install modes" such as "install" or "bundle" modes.

How do I change them if need be?

 

Thanks, 

 

Phill

here is the reference of installation guide :

 

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/technotes/8-8/b_c9800_wireless_controller_series_web_dg.html

 

Bundle Mode :

 

The Bundle mode uses the monolithic image to boot an Device.

 

Install Mode :

 

Install mode is the default mode for the device (some time may not be the case).  This mode uses a package-provisioning file named packages.conf in order to boot the device.

 

here is the reference guide conver from bundle to install mode :

How do I get the GUI out of Day Zero Express Setup?

 

 

have ever spend time to look at the document which was provided in the past post :

 

The Express Setup can be used only for the first time in out of box installations or when controller configuration is reset to factory defaults.

 

again for reference :

Well pardon me, I read that!
It's obvious I'm wasting my time here.
Have a nice day!

I do not see an option to abort the wizard in the GUI.

Anyhow, I configured the controllers from factory defaults via the CLI, then ran into the GUI wizard (with no need to run through it). It appears that the only way to get rid of the day zero wizzard is to just run through it, which is what I ended up doing...I was just looking for a way around that.

 

I do like the IOS based CLI a lot better than the Airspace CLI... the GUI on the 9800 is not too bad either... Just takes some getting used too.

 

Thanks,

Phill

The easiest way is to cancel out of the startup wizard which I always end up doing. Then I apply my base config via cli.

Looks as if the only way tog et out of it is to just run through the menus.

I wish there was a "skip this stuff" button.

 

yes you can write your feedback to Cisco TAC, they consider as Enhacenment (if they consider)
