The WX switch contains a local database that can store user information 
for a 3Com WLAN. You can use the local database to create users and 
authenticate them, or you can use the local database in conjunction with 
a RADIUS server. For example, although you might use a RADIUS server 
to manage most users, you could define IT staff as users in the local 
database in the event that the RADIUS server is unavailable.

You can create two types of users in the local database:

„

Named users—These users are authenticated by username and 
password and are assigned to specific VLANs. Users include 
administrators and network users. You can group these users by 
creating user groups, in order to simplify configuration.
