Document Abstract
This document describes the use of Command Line Interface, here in after referred as CLI through SSH to access the Access Point parameters, configuration and offers several troubleshooting tools.
Prerequisites
In order to access device using CLI, SSH supported utility is required. CLI access is operating system independent. You may use Windows® or MAC® or Linux®. The command terminal should support SSH. In Windows®, you may use third party application like Putty whereas the MAC® and Linux® command terminals already support SSH. Default port used by SSH is 22. Please use the same device username and password as defined during Site creation in Quantum Rudder (https://cc.qntmnet.com) and for standalone use preconfigured device login username and password. We used admin as the Device username and 192.168.25.6 is the Access Point IP address.
Example of a SSH command (IP Address 192.168.25.6 has been used in test scenario only): command_prompt> sshadmin@192.168.25.6 {press Enter Key}
How to access CLI?
Using Windows® platform?
Step 1: Download Putty for windows and follow as below (For test scenario we used 192.168.25.6 as the assigned IP address to Access Point).
Step 2: On first connection from Windows® using Putty, click “Yes” to accept host key.
Step 3: Enter the username and password defined during Site creation in Quantum Rudder and press Enter.
Step 4: You are successfully logged into Access Point with command prompt as “QNTM”. You may execute CLI commands now.
For Linux® and Apple® devices, SSH is, by default, supported. In usual cases any third party application is not required.
Using Apple® Platform?
We used an Apple® Macbook with macOS High Sierra Version 10.13.4 to brief
commands ahead. Feel free to consult for updated versions issued ahead.
Step 1: Start Terminal and execute below SSH command followed by Enter key (For test scenario we used 192.168.25.6 as the assigned IP address to Access Point).
Step 2: For first connection to the Access Point using SSH, you may be prompted to accept the host key. Do so by clicking “Yes” and press Enter.
Step 3: Please enter the password as defined to access the Access Point during Site creation in Quantum Rudder and press Enter.
Step 4: You are successfully logged into Access Point with command prompt as “QNTM”(Device Name). You may execute CLI commands now.
