You can use the Enterprise Manager and its Remote Authentication Dial In User Service
(RADIUS) server to configure access permissions for Extreme switches. Two levels of
access to Extreme switches can be enabled:
• User—users who can view device status information and statistics, but cannot
modify any parameters.
• Administrator—users who can modify device parameters as well as view status
information and statistics.
These permissions enable access to Extreme Networks switches through Telnet or
ExtremeWare Vista. The use of the RADIUS server avoids the need to maintain user
names, passwords, and access permissions in each switch, and instead centralizes the
configuration in one location in the ExtremeWare Enterprise Manager.

The ExtremeWare Enterprise Manager software is made up of three major functional
components:
• The ExtremeWare Enterprise Manager Server, which is based on the Sun Java Web
Server. The server is responsible for downloading applets, running servlets,
managing security, and communicating with the database.
• A Relational Database Management System (RDBMS), Sybase Adaptive Server
Anywhere, which is used as both a persistent data store and a data cache.
•
The ExtremeWare Enterprise Manager client applications, which are Java applets that
are downloaded from the server to a client machine on request and executed in a
Java-enabled web browser that supports Java 1.1.
Figure 1-1 illustrates the architecture of the ExtremeWare Enterprise Manager software.
