Management Access Control Overview
By default, management access to the switch through the out-of-band (OOB)
port and in-band switch ports requires a user account to be configured on the
switch. A user can access the switch management interface only after
providing a valid username and password combination that matches the user
account information stored in the user database configured on the switch.
PowerConnect 7000 Series switches include several additional features to
increase management security and help prevent unauthorized access to the
switch configuration interfaces (CLI, Web-based, and SNMP).
Table 9-1 provides an overview of the management security features the
switch supports.
