Pinging the TAOS unit from a local host

After you configure the TAOS unit for IP network access, go to an IP host on the local network and use the Ping command to verify that the unit can communicate on the network. For example:

host-1%ping 10.2.3.4

In addition, you can verify that the TAOS unit is integrated into your DNS system. For example:

host-1%ping apx01

Recommended basic security measures

The TAOS unit is shipped from the factory with all its security features set to defaults that enable you to configure and set up the unit without any restrictions. Before you make the TAOS unit generally accessible, you must change the default security settings to protect the configured unit from unauthorized access.

Before bringing the TAOS unit online, Lucent recommends performing the following important security measures:

•“Changing the Admin password” on page 1-8

•“Securing the serial port” on page 1-8

•“Assigning a Telnet password” on page 1-8

•“Requiring acceptance of the pool address” on page 1-9

•“Ignoring ICMP redirects” on page 1-9

•“Disabling directed broadcasts” on page 1-9

•“Configuring SNMP access to the unit” on page 1-10

For additional security measures, see the APX 8000/MAX TNT/DSLTNT WAN, Routing and Tunneling Configuration Guide.
