Configuring Wx Management Services - 3Com 3CRWX120695A Reference Manual

Configuring WX
Management
Services
You can configure the following information and management services
for the WX:
System information — You can specify system contact information,
as well as the CLI prompt and the banner message that appears at
each session. (See "Setting System Information" on page 210.)
HTTPS — By default, HTTPS is enabled. TCP port 443 is used for
secure access by Web Manager, the 3Com Web-based application for
managing a WX. (See "Enabling HTTPS" on page 211.)
3WXM communications also use HTTPS, but 3WXM is not affected by the
HTTPS configuration on the WX. For 3WXM, HTTPS is always enabled and
listens to port 8889.
Telnet — By default, Telnet is disabled. You can enable Telnet for
unencrypted access to the CLI. (See "Configuring Telnet" on
page 212.)
SSH — By default, SSH is enabled. You can use SSH for encrypted
access to the CLI. (See "Configuring SSH" on page 213.)
SNMP — By default, SNMP is disabled. You can enable SNMP traps
and trap receivers, and specify read-only and read-write community
strings. (See "Configuring SNMP" on page 214.)
Logging — The system log provides event information for monitoring
and troubleshooting. You can send the log information to a local data
buffer on a WX, to the console, to a Telnet session, and to a
configured set of syslog servers. (See "Configuring Logging" on
page 218.)
Tracing — Tracing allows you to review diagnostic information for
debugging MSS. Tracing allows you to review messages about the
status of a specific area of MSS. (See "Configuring Tracing" on
page 224.)
Time zone and summertime settings — You can configure the
system time and date statically. You also can configure MSS to offset
the time by an additional hour for daylight savings time or similar
summertime period. (See "Setting the Timezone" on page 226.)
