16 WIRELESS LAN SWITCH AND CONTROLLER MSS VERSION 6.0.4.6 RELEASE NOTES
3WXM
By default, access to 3WXM and the 3WXM monitor-
ing service do not require passwords. To secure
access, configure user accounts within each instance
of 3WXM and the monitoring service.
The monitoring service uses a signed certificate for
authentication. The service has a self-signed certifi-
cate by default. For added security, used a certificate
signed by a CA instead. To use a CA-signed certifi-
cate, install the certificate in a key store file on the
machine where the monitoring service is installed,
and change the name of the key store file used by the
monitoring service from its default to the one where
you installed the certificate signed by the CA.
Guest Access (unencrypted SSIDs)
If you need to prevent all guest access (access to
unencrypted SSIDs):
■ Do not create any service profiles for SSID type
clear.
■ Delete any existing service profiles for a clear SSID.
WebAAA Best Practices
If you plan to use WebAAA, see the “Configuring
WebAAA” section in the “Configuring AAA for Net-
work Users” chapter of the Wireless LAN Switch and
Controller Configuration Guide. The section has con-
figuration requirements and recommendations, in
addition to an overview of the WebAAA process.
If you are upgrading from MSS Version 3.2, 3Com
recommends that you read the manual even if the
switch already uses WebAAA. The WebAAA imple-
mentation and its configuration requirements
changed in MSS Version 4.0.
Communication Between the WX Switch and 3WXM
or WebView
Administration certificate requirement (11974)
Before the WX switch can communicate successfully
with 3WXM, you must create an administrative
encryption certificate on the WX switch. For details,
see the Wireless LAN Switch and Controller Installa-
tion and Basic Configuration Guide.
Mobility Domain
™
(Multiple WX Switch) Best Practices
3Com recommends that you run the same MSS
version on all WX switches in a Mobility Domain.
Helpful commands
Use the following commands to verify the proper
operation of a Mobility Domain in support of features
such as subnet roaming:
■ display mobility-domain status — In a func-
tioning Mobility Domain, the output on every WX
switch displays every WX switch in the Mobility
Domain.
■ display roaming vlan — In a functioning Mobility
Domain, the output on every WX switch displays
the network-attached VLAN of every other WX
switch in the Mobility Domain.
Other useful commands, documented in the Wireless
LAN Switch and Controller Command Reference,
include display tunnel and display roaming station.
