Dell POWEREDGE M1000E - Manual (Page 34)

32 Introduction
Password Management Security
Password management provides increased network security and improved password control. Passwords
for SSH, Telnet, HTTP, HTTPS, and SNMP access are assigned security features.
For more information about password management, see "Password Management."
TACACS+
TACACS+ provides centralized security for validation of users accessing the switch. TACACS+ provides
a centralized user management system, while still retaining consistency with RADIUS and other
authentication processes.
RADIUS Client
RADIUS is a client/server-based protocol in which the server maintains a user database that contains user
authentication information, such as user name, password, and accounting information.
SSH/SSL
Secure Shell (SSH) is a protocol that provides a secure, remote connection to a device. This connection
provides functionality that is similar to an inbound telnet connection.
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol provides a means of abstracting an encrypted connection between
two stations. Once established, such a connection is virtually no different to use than an unsecured
connection.
CLI Documentation
Another resource for the PowerConnect M6220/M6348/M8024 is the CLI Reference Guide, which is
located on the Dell Support website at www.support.dell.com . It provides information about the
command-line interface (CLI) commands used to configure and manage the switch. The document
provides in-depth CLI descriptions, syntax, default values, and examples.
