Meraki cli to check AP's running config

Hi Everyone,

 

I Meraki APs that are cloud managed through their dashboard. My supervisor wants me to send him AP's running config and I was unable to find a location from where i can access the AP's cli to check its running config. All i could do is go to Wireless -> monitor and populate the columns to see all the information. 

Is there a better way to it? I am hoping for a result like show running-config. 

I had read a few months back that you can log into AP cli now but not sure if that's possible. 

 

Please help!

Meraki Cloud Managed APs do not have a running config you can see. There are methods with the API you could export the various config pieces to JSON and review and there are marketplace vendors that offer config backup solutions like Boundless (not an endorsement, have never used).

You can access the cli of a cloud monitored 9800 controller for certain things, but that doesn't extend to Meraki managed APs.

This is the only method within the dashboard so know if your access points are running your latest config. I'm sure there is a similar way using the API.
