Installing the XS-3900 33
Network Management Planning
Network management can be performed using any of the following methods:
z Command Line Interface, using an SSH (Secure Shell) utility, like PuTTY.
z Web-based management, using the XS-3900 unit’s embedded Web
Management Interface (WMI). This method provides configuration and
basic monitoring tools, and is good for small deployments (one or two
units).
z Web-based management, using the optional Xirrus Wireless
Management System (XM-3300). The XM-3300 is used for managing large
XS-3900 deployments from a centralized Web-based interface and offers
the following features:
Layer 3 appliance
Globally manage large numbers of XS-3900 units
Seamless view of the entire wireless network
Easily configure large numbers of XS-3900 units
Rogue AP monitoring
Easily manage system-wide firmware updates
Monitor performance and trends
Aggregation of alerts and alarms
