Cisco Aironet 3700 Series IP connection

[undercover921]

Hello,

So I have Aironet 3700 devices and I can connect to the Cisco WLAN Controller with the IP address to manage the AP devices. I was wondering if I can connect to the AP device itself if I have the IP address of the AP device.

Hi

You can. Considering you have connectivity with the AP. 

 Go to the AP configuration on the WLC and config a credential for ssh or telnet.

So the AP doesn't have a GUI interface then that I would just type IP on browser and goto as the WLC.

Web interface only with autonomous AP. Lightweight only permit ssh or telnet with a limited amount of commands.
