CHAPTER 10
MANAGEMENT ACCESS
The access point uses mechanisms to allow/deny access to the network for separate interfaces and protocols (HTTP, HTTPS,
Telnet, SSH or SNMP). Management access can be enabled/disabled as required for unique policies. Management Access is
not meant to function as an ACL (in routers or other firewalls), where administrators specify and customize specific IPs to
access specific interfaces.
Motorola Solutions recommends disabling unused and insecure management interfaces as required within different access
profiles. Disabling un-used management services can dramatically reduce an attack footprint and free resources too.
To set Management Access administrative rights, access control permissions, authentication refer to the following:
• Creating Administrators and Roles
• Setting the Access Control Configuration
• Setting the Authentication Configuration
• Setting the SNMP Configuration
• SNMP Trap Configuration
Refer to Management Access Deployment Considerations on page 10-13 for tips on how to optimize the access point’s
management access configuration.
NOTE: The access point utilizes a single Management Access policy, so ensure all the
intended administrative roles, access control permissions, authentication settings and
SNMP settings are correctly set. If the access point is a Virtual Controller AP, these are
the management settings used by adopted access points.
