  • Page 38: Configuring An Enable Password

    MSS does not require you to change the enable password from the Enable Password default (null string). However, 3Com recommends that you configure an enable password to provide at least minimal security to the WX switch before you proceed to more advanced configuration options.

  • Page 39: Installing An Upgrade License

    (For information about additional ways to secure CLI access, see the Wireless LAN Switch and Controller Configuration Installing an Table 10 lists how many MAPs you can configure on a WX switch, and Upgrade License how many MAPs a switch can boot. The numbers are for directly connected and Distributed MAPs combined.

  • Page 40: Configuring The Time And Date

    The license key is shipped with the switch. To obtain the activation key, access the 3Com web site. Each license and activation key pair allows the switch to actively manage an additional 24 MAPs. You can install up to three upgrade license and activation key pairs, to actively manage up to 96 MAPs.
  • Page 41 Configuring the Time and Date 3Com recommends that you set the time and date parameters before you install certificates on the WX switch. Generally, certificates are valid for one year beginning with the system time and date that are in effect when you generate the certificate request.

  • Page 42: Configuring Ip Connectivity

    3 Test the IP configuration. (See “Verifying IP Connectivity” on page 45.) Configuring VLANs Any or all VLANs on the switch can have an IP address. 3WXM and Web and IP Addresses Manager require IP connectivity to a WX switch to manage the switch.
  • Page 43 To avoid confusion, do not assign numbers as VLAN names. Every VLAN on a WX switch has both a VLAN name used for authorization purposes and a VLAN number. VLAN numbers can vary uniquely for each WX switch and are not related to 802.1Q tag values even when used.

  • Page 44: Configuring A Default Route

    The default VLAN listed in the sample display vlan output is present in a WX switch’s configuration by default but does not contain any ports unless you add them. 3Com recommends that you do not use the default VLAN (VLAN 1) for user traffic or rename the default VLAN. Instead, configure other VLANs and use those VLANs for user traffic.

  • Page 47: Installing A Certificate

    To manage a WX switch, 3WXM or a Web browser using Web Manager must be able to authenticate the switch and establish an encrypted session to it. This requires the switch to have a server certificate. Use one of the following methods to enable secure communication between 3WXM or Web Manager and a WX switch: Generate a self-signed certificate on the switch.

Installing a Certificate Assigned by a Certificate Authority You can install a WX switch certificate assigned by a CA in one of the following ways: Install a PKCS #12 object file—To use this method: a Use TFTP to download onto the switch a PKCS #12 object file containing a public-private key pair and a certificate assigned by the b Assign a one-time password to authenticate the PKCS #12 object file.
  • Page 50 These commands copy the PKCS #12 object file from a TFTP server to the WX switch, configure a one-time password, and install the PKCS #12 object file. The password allows the public-private key pair and the certificate to be installed together from the same object file.
