Section4.6.4.1
Security Alarms for Login Authentication
RUGGEDCOM ROS provides various logging options related to login authentication. A user can log into a
RUGGEDCOM ROS device in three different ways: Console, SSH or Telnet. RUGGEDCOM ROS can log messages
in the syslog, send a trap to notify an SNMP manager, and/or raise an alarm when a successful and unsuccessful
login event occurs. In addition, when a weak password is configured on a unit or when the primary authentication
server for TACACS+ or RADIUS is not reachable, RUGGEDCOM ROS will raise alarms, send SNMP traps and log
messages in the syslog.
The following is a list of log and alarm messages related to user authentication:
• Weak Password Configured
• Login and Logout Information
• Excessive Failed Login Attempts
• RADIUS Server Unreachable
• TACACS Server Unreachable
• TACACS Response Invalid
• SNMP Authentication Failure
NOTE
All alarms and log messages related to login authentication are configurable. For more information
about configuring alarms, refer to Section4.6.3, “Configuring an Alarm” .
