settings for each Array before deployment. Settings may be duplicated from one
Array to the next or entered in bulk. Please see the Xirrus Mobilize User’s Guide.
Mobilize sets up an initial software image and configuration upon deployment of
the Array. The Array will continue to check for further updates during a grace
period after deployment (typically two weeks). After the grace period Mobilize
does not provide continuing software and configuration updates. For ease of
ongoing management, Xirrus recommends using XMS. Please see “Xirrus
Management System (XMS)” on page 2. Note that your Xirrus wireless
equipment will continue to be able to fetch and activate license updates to which
you are entitled. See “License Key/Auto-provisioning:” on page 375.
User Interfaces (CLI, WMI)
With the zero-touch setup provided by Mobilize, your Xirrus network is ready for
use a few minutes after deployment. We recommend that you use the Xirrus
Management System (XMS) for ongoing monitoring and fine-tuning of the
network.
Should you wish to check the configuration of individual Arrays locally, Array
settings may be viewed or configured through the Command Line Interface (CLI)
using SSH, or on a browser with the Web Management Interface (WMI). You may
use the CLI via the serial management port (console—on all Arrays except the
XR-500 and XR-1000 Series and some XR-2000 models) or any of the Gigabit
Ethernet ports. You can use the WMI via any of the Array’s Ethernet ports. Note
that Arrays that are managed via XMS may only allow local access in read-only
mode (see “XMS-Managed Arrays Restrict Local Management” on page 78 for
details).
