Ruckus R510 CLI can't enter PRIVILEGED mode

[james_mariano]

Hi!

Just new to this kind of setup so please please bear with me 🙂

I can't somehow enter privileged mode when remoting via ssh. After logging in, instead of being started on limited mode ( ex. ruckus> ). It starts of with rkscli: typing in enable only shows command is not recognized: enable.

Is there something I need to tick off for the prompt to let me enter privileged mode?

Thank you very much in advance!


Regards,
James

Hi James,

ruckus> is shown in the Controller CLI or the Unleashed master CLI.
rkscli: means that the device is in normal AP prompt.

What is the software version of the AP.
Try with the command "get version" to check the AP software version.

[sanjay_kumar]

If the AP is running on 200.x version, then you can get the "ruckus>" mode if the AP is Master.
If not then it will be on "rkscli:" mode.

If the AP is on any other version apart from 200.x version, then it will be on "rkscli:" mode.

Hi James,

Is your AP already configured and running on Unleashed? If yes, try below

- SSH into the any AP in the network (Since you posted this query under Unleashed product, I am assuming you have a working Unleashed setup with one or more APs).
- Now run the command "get election"
- Above command will give you a list of all APs connected to Unleashed network with all the other information about the APs (MAC add, IP, firmware ver, current role, etc). Try to find-out master AP (master AP acts as controller in Unleashed and will be labeled as 'master' in get election output)
- Now check the IP address of master AP from the same output (get election output).
- SSH into the master and this time when you will login, you will see 'ruckus>' prompt
- To go to enable mode, run 'enable' and to move to AP mode for master AP, run 'ap-mode'

HTH.
