6.1 Protecting the device
If you want to maximize the protection of the device against unauthorized
access in just a few steps, you can perform some or all of the following steps
on the device:
Deactivate SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 and select a password for SNMPv3
access other than the standard password (see on page 80 “Entering the
password for SNMP access“).
Deactivate Telnet access.
Deactivate web access after you have downloaded the applet for the web-
based interface onto your management station. You can start the web-
based interface as an independent program and thus have SNMP access
to the device.
If necessary, deactivate SSH access (see on page 85 “Enabling/disabling
Telnet/Web/SSH Access“).
Deactivate HiDiscovery access.
Note: Make sure to retain at least one option to access the device. V.24
access is always possible, since it cannot be deactivated.
