Securing Low Level Access to the Array
Most management of the Xirrus Array is done via the Web Management Interface
(WMI) as you just saw in “Performing the Express Setup Procedure” on page 71.
Another often used option is CLI—see “The Command Line Interface” on
page 377. The Array also has a lower level interface: XBL (Xirrus Boot Loader),
which allows access to more primitive commands. You won’t normally use XBL
unless instructed to do so by Xirrus Customer Support. For proper security, you
should replace the default XBL login username and password with your own, as
instructed below. XBL has its own username and password, separate from the
ArrayOS Admin User and Password (used for logging in to the WMI and CLI)
that you changed in Step 10 on page 75.
Xirrus also provides the Xircon utility for connecting to Xirrus XR Arrays that are
not reachable via the normal access methods (such as SSH or WMI) and that do
not have a physical console port (XR500 and XR-1000 Series Arrays), or whose
console port is not accessible. Xircon discovers Arrays on your network subnet
by sending IP/UDP broadcast packets. Once an Array is discovered, Xircon can
establish an encrypted console session to the Array via the network even if the
Array IP configuration is incorrect. Xircon allows you to manage the Array using
CLI, just as you would if connected to the console port. Xircon also has an option
for easily accessing XBL.
