Is it possible to enable CLI access (SSH or console) on Cisco Meraki MS130 switches?

Hello guys. 

 

Many network administrators wonder whether the Cisco Meraki MS130 series switches, although fully cloud-managed through the Meraki Dashboard, offer any option to access a Command-Line Interface (CLI), similar to traditional Cisco Catalyst switches.

 

Is there any official or unofficial method to enable CLI access (such as SSH, Telnet, or physical console) on these devices?

 

Or is CLI functionality entirely absent by design in the Meraki MS130 architecture?

There is no cli at all in MS Meraki Switches. Only the local status page: https://documentation.meraki.com/General_Administration/Tools_and_Troubleshooting/Using_the_Cisco_Me...

Mloraditch,s statement is true.

I am not a Cisco Meraki employee. My suggestions are based on documentation of Meraki best practices and day-to-day experience.

Please, if this post was useful, leave your kudos and mark it as solved.

There are third-party CLI-style tools written in Python that use the Meraki API.
