ERVICES REFERENCES
You can start or stop the service by configuring the service as a daemon.
After 3WXM Services is started, you must enable the 3WXM Client to
access the service. (See "Connecting to 3WXM Services".)
Configuring the Service as a Daemon
The following examples show methods you can use to configure 3WXM
Services to automatically start and stop. Other methods might also work.
These are the ones that 3Com has tested.
Linux Example—SUSE 9.1 The recommended way to add services to a
SUSE 9.1 installation is with the insserv command. Enter commands
such as the following (as root):
suse# cd /etc/init.d
suse# ln -s /opt/3wxm/bin/3wxm-services 3wxm-services
suse# insserv 3wxm-services
Linux Example—Red Hat WS 3 The recommended way to add
services to a Red Hat WS 3 system is with the chkconfig command. Enter
commands such as the following (as root):
redhat# cd /etc/init.d
redhat# ln -s /opt/3wxm/bin/3wxm-services 3wxm-services
redhat# chkconfig --add 3wxm-services
If a firewall is enabled on the host where you install 3WXM Services,
3WXM Services will not be able to communicate with 3WXM Client or
with WX switches unless the firewall is configured to allow through
traffic for the SSL and SNMP ports (443 and 162 by default).
To connect to 3WXM Services
1 Start 3WXM Client.
On Windows systems, select Start > Programs > 3Com Networks >
3WXM > 3WXM, or double-click the 3WXM icon on the desktop.
On Linux systems, change directories to
3WXM_installation_directory/bin, and enter ./3WXM.
