Configuring the AT-S25 Software Security Features
The AT-S25 software has several security features that can help prevent
unauthorized individuals from changing the parameter settings of an
AT-8316F or an AT-8324 Switch. The security features are:
Manager and Operator Passwords - The management software has
two standard, management login accounts:
❑ For Manager access, type manager as the user name. The default
password is “friend”.
❑ For Operator access, type operator as the user name. The default
password is “operator”.
Note
The user names cannot be changed and the passwords are case
sensitive. For instructions on how to change a password, refer to
Configuring the Management Passwords on page 49.
For information on the two access levels, refer to Management
Access Levels on page 32.
Console Timeout - This parameter causes the management software to
automatically end a management interface 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 50.
SNMP Access - You could also disable the SNMP management feature
on the switch, and so prevent individuals from managing the switch
remotely using a SNMP management program. For instructions on how
to set this security feature, refer to Configuring Management Access
on page 50.
Web Access - You could disable the web browser management feature
on the switch, and so 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 50.
