Overview

The DSU provides several ways to control access to the ATI through option settings. You can:

HEnable the Login Required option to require a Login ID for the:

ÐTerminal Port

ÐTelnet Session via the IP interfaces (the 10BaseT port or the IMC)

HLimit the access using:

ÐPort Access Level option of 1, 2, or 3 for the Terminal port

ÐSession Access Level option of 1, 2 or 3 for the Telnet Session Refer to Table 4-1,Effective Access Levels.

HDisable the access using:

ÐIn-Band Management Channel Rate (bps) option for the IMC

ÐEthernet Port Use option

ÐTelnet Session option

Refer to ATI Access on page 4-3.

SNMP security is handled through Community Names with access levels and

IP address validation. Refer to Controlling SNMP Access on page 4-6.

Preventing access to the ATI by setting the In-Band Management Channel Rate or Ethernet Port Use options to Disable also inhibits SNMP management over those interfaces.
