Context-Specific Configuration Levels
The Context Configuration level gives access to specific groups of commands
depending on whether you are configuring the Ethernet interface, a WDS

lower Manager Exec and Global Configuration levels are available.
The prompt changes according to the configuration context.
■ Ethernet Configuration: To enter the Ethernet configuration context,
enter the interface ethernet command at the Exec prompt. For example:
ProCurve Acess Point 530(config)# interface ethernet
ProCurve Acess Point 530(ethernet)#
■ WDS Configuration: To enter the WDS configuration context for WDS
2, for example, enter interface wds2 at the Exec prompt:
ProCurve Acess Point 530(config)# interface wds2
ProCurve Acess Point 530(wds2)#
■ Radio Configuration: To enter the Radio context for radio 1, for
example, enter radio 1 at the Global Config prompt:
ProCurve Acess Point 530(config)# radio 1
ProCurve Acess Point 530(radio1)#
■ WLAN Configuration: To enter the WLAN context for WLAN 1 on radio
1, enter wlan 1 at the "(radio 1)" prompt:
ProCurve Acess Point 530(radio1)# wlan 1
ProCurve Acess Point 530(radio1-wlan1)#
