Configuring the AT-S39 Management Security Features
The AT-S39 software has several security features that can help prevent
unauthorized individuals from changing a switch’s parameter settings.
The security features are:
❑ Manager and Operator Passwords - The management software
has two standard, management login accounts: Manager and
Operator. The Manager account allows you to configure all switch
parameters, while the Operator account only allows you to view
the parameter settings. The default login name for Manager
access is “manager” and the password is “friend”. The login name
and password for Operator access are both “operator”. Login
names and passwords are case-sensitive. For instructions on how
to change a password, refer to Configuring the Management
Passwords on page 51. (You can create additional management
login accounts for the switch if your network contains a TACACS+
or RADIUS authentication protocol server. For instructions, refer
to Chapter 17, TACACS+ and RADIUS Protocols on page 192.)
❑ Console Timeout - This parameter causes the management
software to automatically end a management session if it does
not detect any activity from the local or remote management
station after the specified period of time. This security feature can
prevent unauthorized individuals from using your management
station should you step away from your system while configuring
a switch. The default for the console timeout value is 10 minutes.
For instructions on how to set this security feature, refer to
Configuring Management Access on page 52.
❑ Web Access - You can disable the web browser management
feature on the switch, and so prevent individuals from managing
the switch remotely using a web browser. The default setting for
web browser management access is enabled. For instructions on
how to set this security feature, refer to Configuring
Management Access on page 52.
❑ SNMP Access - You can also disable the SNMP management
feature on the switch, and so prevent individuals from managing
the switch remotely using a SNMP management program. The
default setting for SNMP access is disabled. For instructions on
how to set this security feature, refer to Configuring
Management Access on page 52.
