Assigning Local Security
The Local Security screen shows a matrix of options
for access method (Console Port, Remote Telnet,
Community-SNMP) and access level.
These steps assume the User Access Levels screen is
displayed.
1 Select the LOCAL SECURITY option. The Local Secu-
rity screen is displayed, as shown in
Figure 4-6 .
2 Fill in the fields as required.
3 When you have filled in the form, select OK.
Access options are:
Console Port Enabled / Disabled To prevent access
to the management facilities via the console port,
disable access to the facility for each access level.
Console port access for Security is enabled and
cannot be changed. This prevents accidental dis-
abling of all access levels from management.
Remote Telnet Enabled / Disabled Telnet is an inse-
cure protocol. You may want to disable all access
to the management facilities via Telnet if there is
important or sensitive data on your network.
Community-SNMP Enabled / Disabled The Switch
can be managed via SNMP using a remote Network
Manager. Community-SNMP does have some
simple security features, but it is an insecure proto-
col. You may want to disable all access to the man-
agement facilities if there is important or sensitive
data on your network.
