Use management interfaces providing encryption and authentication. Management services
like HTTPS, SSH and SNMPv3 should be used when possible, as they provide both data privacy
and authentication.
•
By default, SNMPv2 community strings on most devices are set to public for the read-only
community string and private for the read-write community string. Legacy Brocade devices may
use other community strings by default.
•
Brocade recommends SNMPv3 be used for device management, as it provides both
encryption, and authentication.
•
Enabling SNMP traps can provide alerts for isolated attacks at both small managed radio
deployments or distributed attacks occurring across multiple managed sites.
•
Whenever possible, Brocade recommends centralized RADIUS management be enabled. This
provides better management and control of management usernames and passwords and
allows administrators to quickly change credentials in the event of a security breach.
