The CyberSWITCH provides a great variety of security options. These options include device level
security, user level security, a combination of the two, or if preferred, no security. There are
different ways to authenticate, as well as different locations (both local and remote) to store security
information. This segment addresses these areas.
We include the following chapters in the Security Configuration segment of the User’s Guide:
• Security Overview
The “Big Picture” of how our standard security options work, and how they interoperate.
• Configuring Security Level

enable no security, device level security, user level security, or both device and user level
security.

information, such as a system password, and for configuring secure yet flexible administration
sessions.
