CAPax won't respond to pings or ssh

I just bought a CAPax and I have to be overlooking something stupid. I’m trying to use it as just a wireless access point. I can get onto the unit via http, but it won’t respond to pings or ssh. here’s my config:

# software id = 3QWH-X868

# model = cAPGi-5HaxD2HaxD

Any ideas why it seems to be ignoring ICMP and ssh?

I have to be overlooking something stupid

And there it is: I was pinging from a virtual machine in the cloud, not on my local LAN! I’d just delete the whole post if I could, but the forum is giving me an error, so I’m just admitting my guilt and moving on.

Best way for others to learn from mistakes already made :smiley:
