How to use the telnet CLI on an AP? Permission Denied on every command.

    I have an issue that I need to troubleshoot from the AP's perspective, but having trouble using telnet.

     

    I can set up the telnet option using the Profile -> AP System, and I can successfully telnet to the AP. However, once I'm in the telnet session every command I try is met with an error message saying that I don't have permission.

     

    Specifically I want to run commands on the AP such as ping, traceroute, show arp, show mac address table.

    I found something to try.

    ctrl+k

    Apparently this will get into full shell.

    Will try it out and report back here.

     

     

    Edit: Confirming that yes, you can use esc followed by ctrl+k and you will then have access to a (still limited) BusyBox shell.
