Security Overview

Switch Access Security

For details on this feature, refer to the section titled “Using SNMP To View

and Configure Switch Authentication Features” on page 6-19.

For information on SNMP, refer to “Using SNMP Tools To Manage the Switch”

in the chapter titled “Configuring for Network Management Applications” in

the Management and Configuration Guide for your switch.

Front-Panel Access and Physical Security

Physical access to the switch allows the following:

■ use of the console serial port (CLI and Menu interface) for viewing and

changing the current configuration and for reading status, statistics, and

log messages.

■ use of the switch’s Clear and Reset buttons for these actions:

• clearing (removing) local password protection

• rebooting the switch

• restoring the switch to the factory default configuration (and erasing

any non-default configuration settings)

Keeping the switch in a locked wiring closet or other secure space helps to

prevent unauthorized physical access. As additional precautions, you can do

the following:

■ Disable or re-enable the password-clearing function of the Clear button.

■ Configure the Clear button to reboot the switch after clearing any local

usernames and passwords.

■ Modify the operation of the Reset+Clear button combination so that the

switch reboots, but does not restore the switch’s factory default settings.

■ Disable or re-enable password recovery.

For the commands used to implement the above actions, refer to the section

titled “Front-Panel Security” on page 2-8.

Secure File Transfers

Secure Copy and SFTP provide a secure alternative to TFTP and auto-TFTP

for transferring sensitive information such as configuration files and log

information between the switch and other devices. For more on these fea-

tures, refer to the section on “Using Secure Copy and SFTP” in the “File

Transfers” appendix of the Management and Configuration Guide for your

switch.
