We got 6 AIR-AP2802I-A-K9 APs connected to same module of the switch is having LEDs flickering, but all are showing as registered in WLC and there is no logs in the switch also. But AP is not working for clients.

What could be the possible reasons . APs are getting POE from switch and it is showing good

- Reboot one of these access points and just after boot , connect to it and issue the command show logging , watch for issues reported.

I am not able to provide any assistance because the WLC is on a very old engineering "special" release.

I would, however, recommend to a later release, like 8.5MR6 or something.

By default, telnet and SSH access to the AP is disabled.

So the only option is to console to the AP directly

No. That is not what I said.

By default, telnet and SSH access to the AP is disabled.

- Remember to use an ssh-client for ssh access

- Depends what operating system are you on ? On Linux ssh is native available. if you are on Windows , use PuTTY : https://www.putty.org/
