Network Management Planning
Network management can be performed using any of the following methods:

Centralized Web-based management, using the optional Xirrus
Management System (XMS). XMS Cloud provides zero-touch
provisioning and ongoing management. XMS is run on a dedicated
Xirrus appliance or your own server. XMS manages large Wireless Array
deployments from a centralized Web-based interface and offers the
following features:

Globally manage large numbers of Arrays

Seamless view of the entire wireless network

Easily configure large numbers of Arrays

Rogue AP monitoring

Easily manage system-wide firmware updates

Monitor performance and trends

Aggregation of alerts and alarms

Command Line Interface, using an SSH (Secure Shell) utility, like PuTTY.
The utility
must be set up to use SSH-2, since the Array will only allow
SSH-2 connections.

Web-based management, using the Array’s embedded Web Management
Interface (WMI). This method provides configuration and basic
monitoring tools, and is good for small deployments (one or two units).
