SSH from WLC to AP

[aangonba]

Hi, does anybody knows if it is possible to start a ssh session from WLC to AP, I cannot find the proper command, I only have CLI access to WLC.

thanks

You can ssh directly to the ap. You can also configure the AP from the WLC. What are you trying to accomplish?

Please mark helpful posts.

Just to add, you really don’t need to access the AP unless you are running debugs. As far as I know, you can’t initiate any ssh from the WLC. You should say from your machine or else say from your switch or router if that’s available.

You can do ssh as long as the AP has joined the WLC and is currently in the RUN state. You also have to allow ssh from the WLC Wireless Configuration page. If the AP not joined or not  joining the WLC, then use console into the AP and look what is wrong ?

WLC SSH config 

Wireless - Global Configuration - set login creds

then choose  All AP - choose AP - Advanced Tab - enable SSH
