3. Refer to the following Management Access policy parameters to discern whether these policies can be
used as is, require modification or a new policy requires creation:
A green check mark indicates device access is allowed using the protocol. A red X indicates device
access is denied using the protocol.
Management Policy Displays the name of the Management Access policy assigned when
initially created. The name cannot be updated when modifying a policy.
Telnet Telnet provides a command line interface to a remote host over TCP. Telnet
provides no encryption, but it does provide a measure of authentication.
SSH v 2 SSH (Secure Shell) version 2, like Telnet, provides a command line
interface to a remote host. However, all SSH transmissions are encrypted,
increasing the security of the transmission.
HTTP HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) provides access to the device’s GUI
using a Web browser. This protocol is somewhat unsecure.
HTTPS HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) provides fairly secure access
to the device’s GUI using a Web browser. Unlike HTTP, HTTPS uses
encryption for transmission, and is therefore more secure than HTTP.
SNMPv 2 SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) exposes a device’s
management data so it can be managed remotely. Device data is exposed
as variables that can be accessed and modified. However, SNMP is
generally used to monitor a system’s performance and other parameters.
