Configuring the AT-S45 Management Security Features
The AT-S45 management software has several security features that can
help prevent unauthorized individuals from changing the parameter
settings of the AT-9410GB switches in your network. These security
features are:
❑ User Name and Password - The management software prompts
you for a user name and password whenever you start a local or
remote management session on a switch. The default user name
and default password are both “manager”. The user name and
password are case-sensitive. The switches in your network can
have the same or different user names and passwords.
❑ Console and Telnet Timeouts - These parameters cause the
management software to automatically end a management
session if it does not detect any activity from the local or Telnet
management station after the specified period of time. This
security feature can prevent unauthorized individuals from using
your management station should you step away from your
system while configuring a switch. The default for the console and
Telnet timeout values are 5 (five) minutes.
❑ Access Methods - You can also disable web browser, Telnet, and
SNMP management on the switch, and so prevent individuals
from managing the switch remotely using these methods.
To configure the user interface features of the AT-S45 management
software, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type B to select Basic Switch Configuration.
2. From the Basic Switch Configuration Menu, type U to select User
Interface Configuration.
