Setting Up Security for a Device

It is advisable to set up security for your devices to prevent unauthorized access to the device or the network. You can configure device security to prevent unauthorized use of certain parts of the network by certain nodes, and to keep unwanted traffic out of certain parts of the network.

Note: For older HP devices that cannot be managed with a Web browser, read the chapter “ Management for Non-Browserable Devices” or see the online help.
