Remote SSH to Access Point in WLC

[Fachrezi Aldian]

I have 1 wlc and 4 APs in my environment. all APs are accessed by wlc, but I want to do remote ssh directly to the APs without the need for WLC. Is it possible to do this?

[Fachrezi Aldian]

The WLC is C9800-L-F-K9, and the AP is C9115AXI-F

yes possible - AP Join Profile

Management --> Device --SSH (Tickbox to enable)

Management --> User  (provide username and relavant information)

Save

and use Putty or what ever client, get IP from WLC and try to ssh to AP.

I already try it, but the AP still can't remote from SSH using Putty. The IP address can ping from my laptop.

 - If you edit an AP join profile (to provide SSH access) ; then make sure that is used by the particular access point too ,

If you got a firewall in between the WLC and APs make sure that allows SSH from your client to AP.

[Fachrezi Aldian]

The AP is directly to WLC. Don't have Firewall between them.

and what about between the PC and the APs?

9115AXI#sh capwap client config
...
ssh status : Disabled <--- Check this

If SSH is disabled then follow the instructions already provided above by the others to enable SSH on the AP.
