You can configure the following information and management services for the WX switch:

„System information—You can specify system contact information, as well as the CLI prompt and the banner message that appears at each session.

„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 switch.

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. By default, a Telnet user is only provided with read-access to the switch. You must set the service-type attribute to 6 for users who are to be given read and write access to the switch through Telnet.

„SSH—By default, SSH is enabled. You can use SSH for encrypted access to the CLI.

„SNMP—By default, SNMP is disabled. You can configure SNMP community strings and User Security Model (USM) users, notification profiles, and notification targets.
