Remote Access Overview

By default, management access is disabled and must be specifically enabled.

RUCKUS ICX devices support the following remote access methods:

  • RESTCONF
  • SSH
  • SNMP
  • Telnet
  • Web

Any combination of methods can be enabled. By default, once a management access protocol is enabled, protocol access is unrestricted.

Note: Access control lists (ACLs) can no longer be applied to any of the management protocols. Instead, use the management access command to define and apply access control to incoming traffic from these protocols.

The following sections explain how to enable and configure management access for the methods available.

Note: For information on configuring access through local user accounts, refer to "Managing User Accounts" in the RUCKUS FastIron Security Configuration Guide.
