Access policies for services
You can control access to the switch by creating an access policy. An access policy specifies the
hosts or networks that can access the switch through various services, such as Telnet, Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), Secure Shell version
2 (SSHv2), and remote login (rlogin). You can enable or disable access services by configuring
flags.
You can define network stations that can access the switch or stations that cannot access the
switch. For each service you can also specify the level of access, such as read-only or read-write-
all.
When you configure access policies, you can perform either of the following actions:
• Globally enable the access policy feature, and then create and enable individual policies. Each
policy takes effect immediately after you enable it.
• Create and enable individual access policies, and then globally enable the access policy
feature to activate all the policies at the same time.
HTTP, SSH and rlogin support IPv4 and IPv6 with no difference in configuration or functionality.
Web interface passwords
The switch includes a Web-management interface, Enterprise Device Manager (EDM), that you can
use to monitor and manage the device through a supported Web browser from anywhere on the
network. For more information on supported web browsers, see Using ACLI and EDM on VSP
Operating System Software, NN47227-103.
A security mechanism protects EDM and requires you to log on to the device using a user name and
password. The default user name is admin and the default password is password.
Important:
For security reasons, EDM is disabled by default. For instructions about how to enable the
interface, see Quick Start Configuration for VSP Operating System Software, NN47227-102.
Password encryption
The switch handles password encryption in the following manner:
• After the device starts, the system restores the web-server passwords and community strings
from the hidden file.
• After you modify the web-server username and password or SNMP community strings, the
system makes the modifications to the hidden file.
