Mediant 8000
33.2 Secure Operation Mode
The Secure Operation Mode must be enabled on the Mediant 8000 Media Gateway as
a first step toward a secure configuration and prior to enabling additional security-
related features.
When the Secure Operation mode is enabled, the following changes are applied to the
Media Gateway:
Insecure access to the CLI management interface (via Telnet) is disabled
Insecure file transfer (via FTP) is disabled
The Secure Operation mode is enabled by default on the SC Rev.2 boards (using the
Linux OS). For SC Rev.1 boards (using the Solaris OS), use the procedures described
in the following sections to enable/disable Secure Operation mode.
Note: The Secure Mode is automatically enabled for SC Rev.2 boards (using the
Linux OS) as part of the Mediant 8000 software installation.
When Secure Operation mode is enabled on SC Rev.1 boards (using the Solaris OS),
the network sniffer utility snoop is removed from its standard location and archived in
the /Project/uninstall/snoop.gz file. This archive file is used to restore the snoop
utility to its default location when the Secure Operation Mode is disabled. Use the rm
/Project/uninstall/snoop.gz command to delete the archive from the SC board
altogether.
