CONFIGURING SYSTEM OPTIONS AND INFORMATION

OVERVIEW

System options include security options for remote devices. The security required for the authentication of each device will depend on the information you have entered for that device.

System information includes a system name, system password, and a system secret. These values are required only if there are remote devices on the network that require this information for system validation.

The system software allows you to achieve secure administrative sessions, along with flexible control. Administration security enhancements include selecting a database server for administration sessions and specifying an inactivity time-out. In addition, you can restrict Telnet access by setting the number of possible administrative Telnet sessions, and you can configure another Telnet port to accept an emergency Telnet Server session.
