Security Management and Password Configuration
System security is handled through the Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA)
mechanism that manages user access rights, privileges, and management methods. AAA uses both
local and remote user databases. Data encryption is handled through the SSH mechanism.
The system is delivered with no default password configured; all passwords are user-defined. If a
user-defined password is lost, a password recovery procedure can be invoked from the
Startup
menu. The procedure is applicable for the local terminal only and allows a one-time access to the
device from the local terminal with no password entered.
Configuring Security Passwords
The security passwords can be configured for the following services:
Terminal
Telnet
SSH
•HTTP
•HTTPS
NOTE: Passwords are user-defined.
