Management and Monitoring Capabilities
There are three management and monitoring interfaces available to the
network administrator to configure and manage an AP on the network:
• HTTP/HTTPS Interface
• Command Line Interface
• SNMP Management
HTTP/HTTPS Interface
The HTTP Interface (also known as the Web browser Interface) provides
easy access to configuration settings and network statistics from any
computer on the network. You can access the Web or HTTP Interface:
• over your LAN (switch, hub, etc.),
• over the Internet, or
• with a “crossover” Ethernet cable connected directly to your
computer’s Ethernet Port.
HTTPS provides an HTTP connection over a Secure Socket Layer.
HTTPS is one of two available secure management options on the AP;
the other secure management option is SNMPv3. Enabling HTTPS allows
you to access the AP in a secure fashion using Secure Socket Layer
(SSL) over port 443. The AP supports SSLv3 with a 128-bit encryption
certificate maintained by the AP for secure communications between the
AP and the HTTP client. All communications are encrypted using the
server and the client-side certificate.
