If you want to institute remote monitoring, you will need to purchase an
SNMP console, available from a number of vendors. Again, interested readers
are referred to the MacSNMP Administrator’s Guide, and especially to the
technical references listed therein.
Establishing gateway security
There are three basic elements of gateway security:
m preventing unauthorized use of the Gateway Manager
m preventing access by unauthorized AppleTalk clients
m preventing unauthorized access from the IP side of the gateway
The first two elements can be set in place with the Apple IP Gateway. The
third must be approached from the IP side, and so specific instructions cannot
be provided here.
Note: One of the simplest and yet most powerful security measures is to use
manual addressing only. A manual address stays with a specific client, and,
unless that client gives it away, it cannot be used by anyone else. See
“Configuring the Gateway” and “Getting Users Ready” in Chapter 2 for more
information on manual addressing.
Setting a password
To prevent unauthorized access to the Gateway Manager and therefore to the
gateway software itself, you can set a password.
1 Open the Gateway Manager program.
2 Choose Set Password from the Control menu.
The Gateway Manager Password dialog box appears, as shown on the
following page.
