Opening Live SSH Console to a Selected AP
ExtremeCloud Appliance 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 Go to Monitor > Devices > Access Points.
2 Select an access point (not the check box).
3 Select Troubleshooting > AP Remote Console > Connect.
The selected AP's SSH console appears.
4 To terminate the SSH console session, click Disconnect.
Switches List
ExtremeCloud Appliance can manage a maximum of 1000 switches. In ExtremeCloud Appliance,
switches are primarily used for stats reporting. Switches operate independently of the connectivity
state. For example, switch states do not change when the appliance is not reachable. You can configure
authentication on the switch ports for MBA and 802.1x against an external/(site-local) authentication
RADIUS server. Because the authenticated sites are directly reachable from the device, the connectivity
status only affects the consistency of the statistics.
