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 Avaya
Virtual Services Platform 7200 Series and 8000 Series, 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 Avaya Virtual Services Platform 7200 Series and
8000 Series, 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.
Enhanced secure mode authentication access levels
After you enable enhanced secure mode with the boot config flags enhancedsecure-mode
command, the switch supports role-based authentication levels. With enhanced secure mode
enabled, the switch supports the following authentication access levels for local authentication,
Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS), and Terminal Access Controller Access
Control System Plus (TACACS+) authentication:
• Administrator
• Privilege
• Operator
