Configuring the AT-S60 Software Security Features
The AT-S60 software has several security features that can help prevent
unauthorized individuals from changing the parameter settings of an
AT-8400 switch. 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 password for Manager
access is “friend.” The default password for Operator access is
“operator.” The passwords are case-sensitive. For instructions on
how to change a password, refer to Configuring the
Management Passwords on page 58.
❑ 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 59.
❑ Web Access - You can disable the web browser management
feature to prevent individuals from managing the switch
remotely using a web browser. For instructions on how to set this
security feature, refer to Configuring Management Access on
page 59.
❑ Telnet Access - You can disable the Telnet server to prevent
individuals from managing the switch remotely using the Telnet
application. For instructions on how to set this security feature,
refer to Configuring Management Access on page 59.
❑ SNMP Access - You can also disable the SNMP management
feature to prevent individuals from managing the switch
remotely using a SNMP management program. For instructions
on how to set this security feature, refer to Chapter 4, SNMP
Community Strings on page 68.
