Wireless Array
76 Installing the Wireless Array
Securing Low Level Access to the Array
??Please review this whole section carefully. This section on Xircon disable and
XBL password is being included in both the XR manual and the XN manual, on
the assumption that when the XS 6.1 releases, it will include the Xircon options.
OK??
Most management of the Xirrus Array is done via the Web Management
Interface (WMI) as you just saw in “Performing the Express Setup Procedure” on
page 69 . Another often used option is CLI—see “The Command Line Interface”
on page 337 . The Array also has a lower level interface: XBL (Xirrus Boot Loader),
which allows access to more primitive commands. You won’t normally use XBL
unless instructed to do so by Xirrus Customer Support. For proper security, you
should replace the default XBL login username and password with your own, as
instructed below. XBL has its own username and password, separate from the
ArrayOS Admin User and Password (used for logging in to the WMI and CLI)
that you changed in
Step 10 on page 73 . ?? xxx Is changing XBL password really
only necessary if Xircon is enabled? There aren’t other ways to get at XBL that
would benefit from securing the password?
Xirrus also provides the Xircon utility for connecting to Xirrus XR Arrays that are
not reachable via the normal access methods (such as SSH or WMI) and that do
not have a physical console port (XR-1000), or whose console port is not
accessible. Xircon discovers Arrays on your network subnet by sending IP/UDP
broadcast packets. Once an Array is discovered, Xircon can establish an encrypted
console session to the Array via the network even if the Array IP configuration is
incorrect. Xircon allows you to manage the Array using CLI, just as you would if
connected to the console port. Xircon also has an option for easily accessing XBL.
In normal circumstances Xirrus Arrays should be configured and managed
through secure shell (SSH) or via the Web Management Interface (WMI). A
connection is established using either the Array hostname or DHCP-assigned IP
address, or via the other options described in
“Using the Ethernet Ports” on
page 66 . Xircon may be needed in special circumstances as directed by Xirrus
Customer Support for troubleshooting Array problems or IP connectivity. (In this
case, see the
Xircon User Guide for detailed information.)
