Wireless Array

Installing the Wireless Array 77

Xircon access to the Array may be controlled:

 You may enable or disable all Xircon access to the Array as instructed in

the procedure below. There are also options to allow access only to CLI

(i.e., ArrayOS access) or only to XBL.

 Since XR-1000 Array models do not have a console port, these models

have Xircon access to both XBL and CLI enabled by default. For Arrays

that do not have a console port, to avoid potentially being locked out of

the Array, Xircon should always be enabled at the XBL level at least.

 On all other Array models (those with a console port), Xircon access to

both XBL and CLI is disabled by default. If Xircon is not going to be used

to access an Array, we recommend leaving Xircon access disabled.

Procedure for Securing Low Level Array Access

Use the following steps to replace the default XBL username and password, and

optionally to change the type of Xircon management access that is allowed. These

steps use CLI commands.

1. To access CLI via the WMI, click CLI under the Tools section on the left

(for detailed instructions see “CLI” on page 332). Skip to Step 4 on

page 78.

To access CLI via SSH, see “Establishing a Secure Shell (SSH)

Connection” on page 337. Then proceed to the next step.

2. At the login as prompt, log in to CLI using the username and password

that you set in Step 10 on page 73.

Warning: If you disable Xircon access completely on XR-1000 models, you

must ensure that you do not lose track of the username and password to log in

to CLI/WMI! There is no way to recover from a lost password, other than

returning the Array to Xirrus.
