Use the mode command to configure the authentication mode for the WLAN 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.
