Opening Live SSH Console to a Selected AP

ExtremeCloud IQ Controller provides a remote console to enable diagnostic debugging of wired and wireless APs. Use the remote console to open a live SSH console session to an AP and troubleshoot using the built-in commands, such as ping and traceroute. You can initiate remote console on both local and remote APs configured behind a firewall.

To open a remote console to an AP from the Devices List:

Go to Monitor > Devices > Access Points.
Select an access point (not the check box).
Select Troubleshooting > AP Remote Console.

  To terminate the SSH console session from the new console window, type Exit or close the browser window.
- To open the console within ExtremeCloud IQ Controller, clear the Open console in new window option and select Connect.
  To terminate the SSH console session from within ExtremeCloud IQ Controller, select Disconnect.
