Step 1: Security Profile
A security profile consists of a set of parameters that can be configured in order to have more control over the services active at any time.
Pre-defined security profiles
There are three
•Secure - Authentication to access serial ports is required and SSH root access is not allowed.
NOTE: SSH root access is enabled when the security profile is set to Moderate or Open. If a Secured security profile is selected, you must switch to a Custom security profile and enable the allow root access option.
•Moderate - The Moderate profile is the recommended security level. This profile enables sshv1, sshv2, HTTP, HTTPS, Telnet, SSH and Raw connections to the serial ports. In addition, ICMP and HTTP redirection to HTTPS are enabled. Authentication to access the serial ports is not required.
•Open - The Open profile enables all services such as Telnet, sshv1, sshv2, HTTP, HTTPS, SNMP, RPC, ICMP, SSH and Raw connections to the serial ports. Authentication to access serial ports is not required.
Default security profile
See the following tables for the list of enabled services when the Default security profile is used.
Custom security profile
The Custom security profile opens up a dialog box to allow custom configuration of individual protocols or services.
NOTE: By default, a number of protocols and services are enabled in the Custom profile; however, they are configurable to a user’s requirements.
