For detailed information about performing administrative tasks including configuring WX switch management services, see the chapter “Configuring WX System and Administrative Parameters” in the Wireless LAN Switch Manager Reference Manual.

For more information about image and file management, see the chapter “Managing WX System Images and Configurations” in the Wireless LAN Switch Manager Reference Manual.

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 Management, 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.
