Configuring the ProCurve Wireless Edge Services xl Module
Management Interfaces
The operator user is particularly useful if you want to assign a new IT staff
member the task of monitoring certain module functions; however, you do not
want this IT staff member to change the existing configuration. In this case,
you could give this IT staff member the password for the operator user but
reserve the manager user password for only senior-level IT staff.
To learn how to add new SNMP v3 users, see “Configuring Web-Users” on
page 2-40.
Controlling Management Access to the Module
This section teaches you how to control Web management access to the
Wireless Edge Services xl Module. It explains how to:
■ enable and disable HTTP and HTTPS access
■ configure the internal FTP server
■ choose SNMP versions
■ change passwords for the default SNMP v3 users (manager and operator)
■ create new Web-Users—users allowed to access the module’s Web
browser interface with various privileges
Enabling HTTP and HTTPS Access to the Module
As described in “Security” on page 2-24, the Wireless Edge Services xl Module
includes an HTTP server and an HTTPS server, which run the module’s Web
browser interface. (Access to the interface is controlled by SNMP v3.)
By default, both servers are enabled. You can disable either or both of these
servers. (Of course, if you disable both, you will only be able to configure the
module through the CLI.)
Follow these steps to enable and disable HTTP and HTTPS:
1. Select Management > Web Access Control.
