Controlling Access to Access Point Menus

Enabling Access Methods

There are several ways that you can manage who can configure and manage the access points in your network:

ˆEnable/disable access methods.

ˆSet up individual logins.

ˆChange the default logins and create a read-only login.

The next sections explain how to implement these strategies.

There are five access methods that you can enable or disable depending on how you want users to be able to configure or manage the access points:

ˆWeb browser interface (HTTP or HTTPS)

ˆTelnet session

ˆAny SNMP management station

ˆTFTP

ˆPrograms that uses ICMP echo

ˆWavelink Avalanche client management system

All access methods are enabled by default. You may want to disable any of these methods that you will not use to prevent access by an unauthorized method.
