to set up a WX switch and the attached
MAPs for basic service.
About
Administrative
Access
The authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) framework helps
secure network connections by identifying who the user is, what the user
can access, and the amount of network resources the user can consume.
Access Modes
MSS provides AAA either locally or via remote servers to authenticate
valid users. MSS provides two modes of access:
Administrative access mode
— Allows a network administrator to
access the WX switch and configure it.
You must establish administrative access in enabled mode before
adding users. See “Enabling an Administrator” on page 55.
Network access mode
— Allows network users to connect through
the WX switch. For information about configuring network users, see
Chapter 21, “Configuring AAA for Network Users,” on page 433.
Types of
Administrative Access
MSS allows you access to the WX switch with the following types of
administrative access:
Console
— Access via only the console port. For more information,
see “First-Time Configuration via the Console” on page 55.
Telnet
— Users who access MSS via the Telnet protocol. For information
about setting up a WX switch for Telnet access, see Chapter 6,
“Configuring and Managing IP Interfaces and Services,” on page 103.
Secure Shell (SSH)
— Users who access MSS via the SSH protocol. For
information about setting up a WX switch for SSH access, see Chapter 6,
“Configuring and Managing IP Interfaces and Services,” on page 103.
3WXM
— After you configure the WX switch as described in this
guide, you can further configure the WX switch using the 3WXM tool
suite. For more information, see the
Wireless Switch Manager
Reference Manual
.
Web View
— A Web-based application for configuring and
managing a single WX switch through a Web browser. Web View
uses a secure connection via Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure
Sockets Layer (HTTPS).
