Opening Live SSH Console to a Selected APNEW!

Note

By default, SSH is disabled for security reasons. However, to remotely access an AP's console, enable SSH on the AP. Ensure SSH is enabled before proceeding further.

ExtremeWireless 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:

1. From the top menu, click AP.
2. From the left pane, click Global > Maintenance.
   The AP Software Maintenance screen displays.
3. Select Troubleshooting > Remote Console.
4. In the Search for AP name field, enter the AP name, and select the appropriate AP from the list displayed.
5. Alternately, click the arrow icon and select the appropriate AP from the list displayed.
6. Click Connect.
   The selected AP's SSH console appears.

   

   
7. Perform ping and traceroute at the SSH prompt.
   See the following screen:

   

   
8. To terminate the SSH console session, click Disconnect.
