Users
Although MSS allows you to configure a user password for the special
"last-resort" guest user, the password has no effect. Last-resort users can
never access a WX in administrative mode and never require a password.
Usernames and passwords can be stored locally on the WX switch. 3Com
recommends that you enforce console authentication after the initial
configuration to prevent anyone with unauthorized access to the console
from logging in. The local database on the WX switch is the simplest way
to store user information in a 3Com system.
To configure a user in the local database, type the following command:
set user username password [encrypted] password
For example, to configure user Jose with the password spRin9 in the local
database on the WX switch, type the following command:
WX1200# set user Jose password spRin9
success: User Jose created
To clear a user from the local database, type the following command:
clear user username
Accounting allows you to track network resources. Accounting records
can be updated for three important events: when the user is first
connected, when the user roams from one MAP to another, and when
the user terminates his or her session. The default for accounting is off.
To configure accounting for administrative logins, use the following
command:
set accounting {admin | console} {user-glob}
{start-stop | stop-only} method1 [method2] [method3]
[method4]
set accounting {admin | console} {user-glob}
{start-stop | stop-only} method1 [method2] [method3]
[method4]
To configure accounting for administrative logins over the network at
EXAMPLE, enter the following command:
set accounting admin EXAMPLE\*
{start-stop | stop-only} aaa-method
