Authentication

Authentication versus encryption

You can select to use security features for the Switched Rack PDU that control access by providing basic authentication through user names, passwords, and IP addresses, without using encryption. These basic security features are sufficient for most environments, in which sensitive data is not being transferred.

Firewalls

Although some methods of authentication provide a higher level of security than others, complete protection from security breaches is almost impossible to achieve. Well-configured firewalls are an essential element in an overall security scheme.
