Autonomous mode
When in autonomous mode, the AP operates as a stand-alone unit. Autonomous mode
supports all CLI commands. You can also configure and manage the AP using the AP
management tool, SNMP, CLI, or SOAP.
Configuring CLI support
CLI support is configured using the management tool on the AP. Select Management > CLI
to open the Command Line Interface (CLI) configuration page.
Note A maximum of three concurrent CLI sessions are supported.
Secure shell access
Enable this option to allow access to the CLI via an SSH session. The CLI supports SSH on
the standard TCP port (22).
Connectivity and login credentials for SSH connections use the same settings as defined for
management tool on the Controller >> Management > Management tool page. SSH
connections to the CLI can be made on any active interface. Support for each interface must
be explicitly enabled under
Security.


OpenSSH
 Tectia

SecureCRT
 Putty
Authenticate CLI logins using
