4. Ports and Interfaces

Tables 4 below provides a listing of the physical ports and logical interfaces for
the MNR S2500 router.
The MNR S2500 base unit provides a single 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interface and a console port.
The MNR S2500 router incorporates two I/O slots for WAN and LAN connectivity and one slot
for analog connectivity.

5. Identification and Authentication Policy

Assumption of roles

The MNR S2500 router supports five distinct operator roles: Crypto Officer (SuperUser),
Admin, Network Manager, User and Maintenance. The first four roles require user
authentication via user name and password when accessing the router via any interface. The
unauthenticated maintenance role is entered only via the router console port.

The MNR S2500 router enforces the separation of roles by providing specific services only to
users who have been authenticated to a role with the required privilege to access those services.
The role-based authentication capabilities will be described here, although the role based-
authentication is not required to comply with Level 1 requirements.

An operator must enter a username and its password to log in. Passwords are alphanumeric
