Enabling Secure Shell Access - Cradlepoint-Router-CLI-Overview/Enabling-Secure-Shell-Access

The Secure Shell (SSH) server is disabled by default on most Ericsson Cradlepoint routers. To enable the SSH server and establish a command-line interface (CLI) session, follow these steps:

Enter the LAN IP address or hostname of the router (assuming you are connecting from the LAN side) into a web browser’s location field. By default, these are:
http://192.168.0.1 and
http://cp/
Navigate to SYSTEM > Administration > Local Management.
Select Enable SSH Server.
(Optional) If you need to access the CLI from the internet, navigate to System > Administration > Remote Admin. Select Allow Remote SSH Access.
Note
Some carriers block the remote SSH Access ports. If a ping to the router's WAN port does not work, it is likely remote SSH access will not work.
Select Save (Local Management) or Submit (Remote Admin).

Enable SSH via Curl (Advanced)

Run this command from a terminal or command prompt of your PC, and then enter the administrator password when prompted:
```
$ curl -X PUT --digest -uadmin http://192.168.0.1/api/config/firewall/ssh_admin/enabled -d data=true
```

(Optional) Enable SSH with remote access:

$ curl -X PUT --digest -uadmin http://192.168.0.1/api/config/firewall/ssh_admin/remote_access -d data=true
