Software Features
Mobility System Software (MSS) provides a combination of standard
wired LAN features and wireless LAN features that enable you to
integrate the switch into your wired network and provide network access
for wired or wireless users.
Management
Features
Serial and network command-line interface (CLI) access—You can
access the CLI through a direct serial connection or through the
network using Secure Shell (SSH) or Telnet.
3Com Wireless Switch Manager management application—3Com
Wireless Switch Manager is an extensive GUI application for planning,
configuring, deploying, and managing a 3Com network and its users.
3Com Wireless Switch Manager uses Secure Sockets Layer protocol
(SSL) to interact with MSS.
Software and configuration management—You can store multiple
software images and configuration files in the WX switch’s nonvolatile
storage.
Web Manager—Web Manager is a Web-based application for
configuring and managing a single WX switch through a Web
browser. Web Manager creates a secure connection by using
Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Sockets Layer (HTTPS).
Layer 2 Switching
Features
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)—MSS is 802.1D-compatible and
supports Per-VLAN Spanning Tree (PVST+). PVST+ allows a separate
spanning tree in each virtual LAN (VLAN). Optional fast convergence
features allow you to quickly resume traffic forwarding after a
topology change.
Load-sharing port groups—You can configure multiple physical ports
into a single logical link for traffic load sharing and physical link
redundancy.
Virtual LANs (VLANs)—MSS supports logical segmentation of a
switch’s ports into separate Layer 2 collision domains. A port can be a
member of one or more VLANs. Each VLAN can have its own IP
interface. MSS supports the 802.1Q tag format.
Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping for multicast
containment—The WX switch can learn about the multicast sources
and receivers in the network and restrict forwarding for a multicast
group to the users for that group. IGMPv1 and IGMPv2 are supported.
