A Security Profile consists of a set of parameters that can be configured in
order to have more control over the services that are active at any time.
Pre-defined Security Profiles
There are three pre-defined security profiles:
1. Secure - The Secure profile disables all protocols except SSHv2, HTTPS,
and SSH to Serial Ports. Authentication to access Serial Ports is required,
and SSH root access is not allowed.
Note: SSH root access is enabled when the security profile is set to “Moderate” or
“Open”. If a “Secured” security profile is selected, you need to switch to a
“Custom” security profile, and enable “allow root access” option.
2. Moderate - The Moderate profile is the recommended security level. This
profile enables SSHv1, SSHv2, HTTP, HTTPS, Telnet, SSH and Raw
connections to the Serial Ports. In addition, ICMP and HTTP redirection
to HTTPS are enabled. Authentication to access the serial ports is not
required.
3. Open - The Open profile enables all services such as Telnet, SSHv1,
SSHv2, HTTP, HTTPS, SNMP, RPC, ICMP, and Telnet, SSH and Raw
connections to the Serial Ports. Authentication to access serial ports is not
required.
Default Security Profile
The Default Security Profile sets the parameters to same as Moderate profile.
See the following tables for the list of enabled services when the Default
security profile is used.
Custom Security Profile
The Custom Security Profile opens up a dialog box to allow custom
configuration of individual protocols or services.
Note: By default, a number of protocols and services are enabled in the Custom
profile, however, they are configurable to user’s custom requirements.
