Note
The password can be from 0 to 20 alphanumeric characters. The
passwords are case sensitive.
Note
The two passwords should be different. If both passwords are the
same, the management software will always assume that you wish
to log in as Manager.
Caution
You should not use spaces or special characters, such as asterisks (*)
and exclamation points (!), in a password if you will be managing
the switch from a web browser. Many web browsers cannot handle
special characters in passwords.
Configuring
Management
Access
To configure the console timer, web access, SNMP access, and TFTP
server security features of the AT-S25 management software, perform
the following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type 5 to select System Config Menu.
The System Config Menu Figure 12 on page 52 is displayed.
2. To configure the console timer, type 2 to select Console Disconnect
Timer Interval and, when prompted, enter a value of from 1 to 60
minutes. The default is 10 minutes.
For example, if you specify 2 minutes, the AT-S25 management
software automatically ends a management interface if it does
not detect any activity from the local or telnet management
station after 2 minutes.
3. To configure SNMP access, type 3 to select SNMP Access and, when
prompted, type E to enable SNMP management access or D to disable
it.
For example, if you disable SNMP access, no one will be able to
manage the switch remotely using an SNMP management
program.
4. To configure web browser access, type 4 to select Web Server Access
and, when prompted, type E to enable web access or D to disable web
access. For example, if you disable web access, no one will be able to
manage the switch remotely using a web browser.
5. After you have made the desired changes, type S to select Save
Configuration changes.
6. Your changes are immediately activated on the switch.
