Managing AP Wireless Login
Context
In addition to logging in through a wired interface, you can log in to an AP through Telnet over WLANs. Currently, only the Telnet login mode is supported in wireless mode. To log in to an AP wirelessly through Telnet, set the VAP type to management AP, configure an IP address in the same network segment as the AP for a STA, and telnet to the IP address of the AP.
- If the type of a VAP is set to service, STAs connected to the VAP can only access network resources but not APs. Service VAPs are used in regular WLAN deployment scenarios.
- If the type of a VAP is set to ap-management, STAs connected to the VAP can only access APs but not network resources. AP management VAPs are used in STA access and AP management scenarios.
