Port Security 8
Port security provides the capability to control user access to the FT-2000 OC-48
Lightwave System on a per port basis. Port security includes the following:
â– Provisionable port status: Dial-up access using the CIT (DTE) port and
remote access using the DCC may be enabled to allow users to log in to
that port or disabled to deny any attempt to log in to that port. Local access
to the CIT (DCE) port may never be disabled. However, legitimate logins to
the CIT (DCE) port are required.
â– Inactivity timers: A provisionable inactivity timer (0-999 minutes) is
provided for the local CIT (DCE) and CIT (DTE) ports in Release 4 and
later releases. In releases prior to Release 7, inactivity timers do not apply
to TL1 logins using the X.25 interface or data communications channel
(DCC). In Release 7 and later releases, a provisionable inactivity timer is
also provided for TL1 logins using the X.25 interface or the DCC. Release
3 provides a nonprovisionable 20-minute inactivity timer, and Release 2
provides a nonprovisionable 15-minute inactivity timer. If the user does not
interact with the FT-2000 OC-48 Lightwave System within the provisioned
time, the user will automatically be disconnected. The inactivity timer is
reset by any data received at the port from a user, regardless of whether
the data is addressed to a local or remote login session. The inactivity timer
is also reset by any output addressed to the local port, regardless of origin
(local or remote login session).
The SECURITY-Set-Security-Port input is used to enable/disable port
security. For more information about provisioning port security, refer to the
SECURITY-Set-Security-Port input in the "Local Provisioning" part of this
section.
The SECURITY-Retrieve-Security-Port input is used to report port status.
For information about the access port security configuration report, refer to the
SECURITY-Retrieve-Security-Port input in Volume I, Section 11, "Craft
Interface Terminal Usage."
