Question

how to enable SSH or Telnet directly to an FAP-U421EV

Hi There,

 

I want to migrate some FAP-U421EV aps from a FortiWLC-50D-VM. I can't SSH or Telnet directly to the AP's (I've run a NMAP and SSH and Telnet are not listing on the APs). How can I enable SSH to the AP? Is there a command I can run on the FortiWLC?

 

Thanks.

    Hello, 

     

    Once you connect AP to WLC, you might need to log in to FortiGate and authorize the AP under Wifi & Switch Controller > Managed FortiAPs. From there you can allow SSH and Telnet connection.
