Overview of Security Methods
Thefollowingsecuritymethodsareavailableforcontrollingwhichusersareallowedtoaccess,
monitor,andmanagethedevice.
•Localusercredentials—usedforlocalauthenticationandauthorizationofCLIandWebView

•MACLocking—locksaporttooneormoreMACaddresses,preventingconnectionof
unauthorizeddevicesviatheport.Fordetails,referto
