Access Considerations
6.1 Securing Access
6.1.1 Description
This section explains how the access to the MultiLink family of switches can be secured.
Further security considerations are also covered such as securing access by IP address or
MAC address.
Note
It is assumed here that the user is familiar with issues concerning security as well as
securing access for users and computers on a network. Secure access on a network can
be provided by authenticating against an allowed MAC address as well as IP address.

well as the operator account. Passwords can be changed from the user ID by using the
set password command.
For example:

Enter Current Password: *******
Enter New Password:*******
Confirm New Password:*******
Password has been modified successfully
ML2400#
