Chapter 7: Security settings

Have you activated the mechanism that protects your WAN lines if the device is stolen?

After being stolen, the device can theoretically be operated at another location by unauthorized persons. Password-protected device configura- tions offer no protection from the operation of the RAS access, LAN cou- pling or VPN connections that are set up in the device; a thief could gain access to a protected network.

The device's operation can be protected by various means; for example, it will cease to function if there is an interruption to the power supply, or if the device is switched on in another location.

The scripting function can store the entire configuration in RAM only so that restarting the device will cause the configuration to be deleted. The configuration is not written to the non-volatile flash memory. A loss of power because the device has been relocated will cause the entire config- uration to be deleted. Further information can be found in the reference manual.
