In some radio links, strict control over the radios, their management, and access to them is desired. For this purpose, some configurations can be used to achieve such control.
The Services panel contains controls to secure management traffic by specifying how it should be served across the network.
Enable HTTPS: Uses SSL to access the web interface of this device. (May not be available to some users)
Web server port: Indicates which TCP port will be used for the web server. This web server is for the web interface. (May not be available to some users)
Secure web server port: Indicates which TCP port will be used for the secure web server.
Session timeout: Sets the number of minutes (5 to 15) of inactivity allowed on the interface before automatically logging out sessions. After an automatic session timeout, logging back into the device will take you to the Dashboard screen.
Enable mDNS: Enables device management via the mDNS hostname <device-xxxx.local>
Enable client management traffic: Enables or disables management connectivity behind client radios.
Enable access to Airspan customer support service: Activates or deactivates access to the radio's customer support service.
Zero Touch provisioning: Allows automatic configuration of the access point via a DHCP server. A DHCP server can send a configuration file URL via DHCP Option 67. Currently, only firmware upgrade is supported.
Enable firewall: Enable this option to protect the management interface from denial of service attacks. Changing this value requires a reboot.
Firewall logging: Enable this option if you suspect your radio is being attacked via HTTP, HTTPS, SSH, or Telnet. Once enabled, firewall data is written to the support log file that can be downloaded for support analysis. If logging is disabled, no alarms will be generated for access events (e.g., HTTP, HTTPS, SSH, Telnet).
These options serve us both to manage our radios and to protect them according to our needs.
