Configuring System Security
The MGX 8260 controls user access two ways:
• User accounts and passwords
• SNMP communities
Configuring User Accounts
The MGX 8260 Media Gateway enforces security with user accounts and access levels. Users must log
onto the MGX 8260 Media Gateway before performing any task, and authenticated users can perform
only those tasks permitted by their access level. The MGX 8260 Media Gateway supports up to 20 user
accounts, each with access privileges ranging from full control to guest (see Table 2-1).
A new system has a default SuperUser account. To prohibit unauthorized access to the equipment,
replace the default account with a unique one.
Note The Command Line Reference lists the specific access level for each command.
Viewing User Profiles
To list existing user profiles, follow these steps:
Step 1 Log on to the MGX 8260 Media Gateway at access level 1.
Step 2 Enter the lsusps command.
The system lists the users.
