HP Firewall manual Super password loss

Page 42

When you set the password by using the set authentication password { cipher simple } password command, follow these guidelines.

•If the cipher keyword is specified, the password is stored in cipher text. You cannot view the password by using the display current-configuration command.

•If the simple keyword is specified, the password is stored in plain text. You can use the display current-configuration command to view the password in the current configuration.

NOTE:

After the firewall reboots, the system runs with the initial default configuration, but the previous configuration file is still stored in the storage medium. To restore the previous configuration, use the display saved-configuration command to display the configuration, and then copy and execute the configuration.

Step4 Save the new password.

[Sysname] save

NOTE:

•To save the new password, execute the save command after modifying the user password.

•HP recommends saving the modification as the default configuration file.

Super password loss

The super password enables you to switch between four super levels. In the case of super password loss, you cannot perform higher level operations.

You can clear the super password by selecting 8 on the BootWare main menu.

========================<EXTEND-BOOTWARE MENU>========================

<1> Boot System

<2> Enter Serial SubMenu

<3> Enter Ethernet SubMenu

<4> File Control

<5> Modify BootWare Password

<6> Skip Current System Configuration

<7> BootWare Operation Menu

<8> Clear Super Password

<9> Storage Device Operation

<0> Reboot

======================================================================

Enter your choice(0-9):8

The following output indicates that you have successfully cleared the super password.

Clear Application Password Success!

NOTE:

•Select option 8, quit the menu, reboot the firewall, and then you can enter system view directly.

Firewall specifications

HP Firewall, often positioned as a key component in enterprise network security, is designed to protect sensitive data and maintain secure communications across various environments. The primary role of a firewall is to monitor incoming and outgoing network traffic and make decisions based on a set of security rules. HP Firewalls utilize a combination of hardware and software to create a robust security framework that helps organizations manage their network perimeter effectively.

One of the main features of HP Firewall is its advanced security protocols that provide deep packet inspection. This technology scrutinizes packet contents beyond the header information, analyzing data flows for signs of malicious activity. By employing Stateful Inspection, HP Firewalls maintain a state table that logs active connections, allowing the firewall to evaluate packets in the context of established sessions. This helps optimize resource usage while delivering high-performance security.

Another characteristic of HP Firewall is its integration with HP's broader security ecosystem. By working seamlessly with other HP security products, such as HP Secure Access and HP Advanced Malware Protection, organizations can deploy a multi-layered security strategy. This integration enables centralized management, streamlining security policies and improving response times against threats.

HP Firewalls also feature next-generation capabilities. This includes intrusion prevention systems (IPS) that actively monitor network traffic for suspected threats and automatically take action to block potential breaches. Additionally, these firewalls come with application awareness features, allowing organizations to enforce policies based on specific applications rather than simply based on port or protocol. This granularity enhances control over minimal use of bandwidth while simultaneously mitigating risks from unwanted applications.

Furthermore, HP Firewall models are equipped with user identity management, allowing organizations to apply security policies based on user roles and the specific needs of the business. This significantly improves the overall security posture as it adds another layer of control.

Scalability is a notable characteristic of HP Firewalls, making them suitable for both small businesses and large enterprises. Organizations can expand their security infrastructure as needed while maintaining efficiency.

In summary, HP Firewalls deliver advanced security features, scalability, and seamless integration within the HP security ecosystem. Their emphasis on deep packet inspection, real-time monitoring, and user identity management make them a powerful asset in the defense against cyber threats, ensuring that organizations can protect their critical data and maintain the integrity of their network environments.
