Types of
Administrative Access
The authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) framework
helps secure network connections by identifying who the user is, what
the user can access, and the amount of network resources the user can
consume.
MSS provides AAA either locally or via remote servers to authenticate
valid users. MSS provides two modes of access:
Administrative access mode — Allows a network administrator to
access the WX switch and configure it.
You must establish administrative access in enabled mode before
adding users. See "Enabling an Administrator" on page 36.
Network access mode — Allows network users to connect through
the WX switch. For information about configuring network users, see
Chapter 13, "Configuring AAA for Network Users," on page 277.
MSS allows you access to the WX switch with the following types of
administrative access:
Console — Access via only the console port. For more information,
see "First-Time Configuration via the Console" on page 36.
Telnet — Users who access MSS via the Telnet protocol. For
information about setting up a WX switch for Telnet access, see
Chapter 4, "Configuring and Managing IP Interfaces and Services,"
on page 77.
Secure Shell (SSH) — Users who access MSS via the SSH protocol.
For information about setting up a WX switch for SSH access, see
Chapter 4, "Configuring and Managing IP Interfaces and Services,"
on page 77.
3Com Wireless Switch Manager — After you configure the WX
switch as described in the
Installation and Basic Configuration
the WX switch using the 3Com Wireless Switch Manager tool suite.
For more information, see the
Reference Manual.
Web Manager — A Web-based application for configuring and
managing a single WX switch through a Web browser. Web Manager
uses a secure connection via Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure
Sockets Layer (HTTPS).
