Understanding Security
The ML-Series card includes several security features. Some of these features operate independently

Transport Controller (CTC) or Transaction Language One (TL1).
Security features configured with Cisco IOS include:
• Cisco IOS login enhancements
• Secure Shell (SSH) connection
• authentication, authorization, and accounting/Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service
(AAA/RADIUS) stand alone mode
• Cisco IOS basic password (For information on basic Cisco IOS password configuration, see the
“Passwords” section on page 3-6.)
Security features configured with CTC or TL1 include:
• disabled console port
• AAA/RADIUS relay mode
