Setting Up Security for a Device
It is advisable to set up security for your devices to prevent unauthorized
access to the device or the network. You can configure device security to
prevent unauthorized use of certain parts of the network by certain nodes,
and to keep unwanted traffic out of certain parts of the network.
Note: For older HP devices that cannot be managed with a Web
browser, read the chapter “Management for Non-Browserable Devices”
or see the online help.
This chapter contains information on:
■ Device Passwords
■ The Function of Community Names
■ Port Security
■ Address Selection
■ Eavesdrop Prevention
■ Setting Security Policy
■ The Intrusion Log
Device Passwords
Assigning passwords to devices helps limit access to authorized persons. In
the Security page, select the Device Passwords button to assign passwords
for the device.
