APs in Campus mode have a very limited CLI, as they are closely controlled by the controller and there is not so much you should (nor can) do on the AP. Console access typically is just needed if your AP does not reach the controller and for that, reboot the AP and check logging for the IP that the AP gets, the 'master discovery' if the correct IP is found for the controller, and after that, you could try ping to see if the controller is reachable. With that information you can in nearly all cases find out why the AP is unable to reach the controller. If there the AP is connected to the controller, all information is available through the controller.

So ping did work. Are their settings on the controller to control permissions that I might have missed. Should you be able to run every command on a campus ap as you can on an ap that hasn't contacted a controller yet.

Try ping. That should not require any permissions.

I've consoled into a 515, after it boots it asks for a password. I've entered the AP console password that I set on the MC. It appears to have logged me in, I have '~ #' for the prompt, but anything I type in and press enter just results in "Permission denied". Any ideas?
