Use the mode command to configure the authentication mode for the WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) service. The mode command determines which authentication commands are available.
The mode command is accessible from the wlan:<WLAN-service-name>:auth context of the CLI.
For information on the captive portal context, see default-topology.
After you run the mode command, run the apply command to implement the changes.
