  • 1.  Access CLi or Similar on Aruba AP505

    Posted Oct 24, 2024 11:03 AM

    Hi everyone,

    We have recently moved our infrastructure from a mesh configured by an Aruba3200XM to a controllerless network of Access Point ArubaAP-505 (APIN0505) and this is a little bit confusing for me, now that there is no physical controller and that everything needs to be handled throught arubanetworks.com, I don't know how to access the CLI.
    I saw on some forums that it was removed, and on other which command line to type... All I want is to be able to automatize our Guest user creation just like we did on the old controller, is this still feasable ?

    Thank you very much for any person replying to this subject, even just saying that he does not have a clue. At least I'll know that someone read this haha !

    If the APs are managed by Central then all configuration is done through Central.  You can still login to the APs using SSH for troubleshooting, if necessary.

    Thank you, this answer is totally appropriate, what I did not realize yet was that there is no CLi, only API.
    Now I need to see and develop a solution to be able to automatize the entire registering process for our end user, which is far from easy for someone like me. I'll check to get external help as I'm not confident enough to be able to use the Aruba Rest API, I'm only learning of the existence of  client ID, secret ID, token generation, app...
    This journey is far from being over and while I feel like this would be a very intersting journey, I'm not skilled enough to sail it right now.
