N OTE : Aruba has two serial cables for the AP 60s. One cable is for Aruba POE
and is relatively inexpensive. The other cable requires mid-span power
and is relatively expensive. A workaround to having to use the more
expensive cable is to have a power supply available to use with the
inexpensive serial cable.
Also you can directly connect the AP to a Mobility Controller to correct
any provisioning problems.
Remote Telnet Connection
If properly set up, the AP support prompt can be accessed remotely using Telnet.
By default, this feature is turned off for security purposes and cannot be turned
on using the AP interface.
Setting Telnet Access
Telnet access can only be changed from the Mobility Controller management
interface. Log in to the Mobility Controller CLI using the
admin account, access the
configuration ( config) prompt, and issue the following commands:
Using Telnet to Connect
Use a Telnet client on your management workstation to connect to the Aruba AP
60/61’s individual IP address. The connection command may vary depending on
the specific software used, but commonly appears as follows:
When the connection is established, the AP support prompt ( #) will be displayed.
(Aruba 5000) (config) # ap location <building>.<floor>.<device>
(Aruba 5000) (sap-config location b.f.d) # telnet {enable|disable}
> telnet <Aruba AP 60/61 IP address>
