The User login entry allows you to enter read-only commands. These only read

information from the router.

The Manager login entry allows you to enter any Technician Interface commands.

Certain commands read information from the router and/or write information to

the router.

We recommend limiting Manager access to network managers and the Bay

Networks Technical Solutions Center. The section “Technician Interface

Commands and Access Levels” in Chapter 8 lists all of the Technician Interface

commands and their associated access requirements.

If you enable password authentication on a router, you must also enter a password

after the Password prompt that appears following your login entry.

<User

Manager>

Password:

New routers initially have no password login requirements. If your network

administrator enables password access on a router, the Password prompt appears

when you attempt a login to that router. We recommend password access to help

establish access and data security for routers in your network. For instructions on

how to enable or disable password authentication on a router, see “Assigning

Passwords” in Chapter 8.

SecurID is a feature for barring unauthorized users from accessing the Technician

Interface on a Bay Networks router through a Telnet session.

Note:

You must press the return key after every Technician Interface

command. Technician Interface commands and passwords are case-sensitive.

Use upper- and lowercase as indicated.
