Time and Date Setting

This feature (menu 24.10) allows you to get the current time and date from an external server when you power up your Prestige. The real time is then displayed in the Prestige Menu 24.1- System Status and error logs. If you do not choose a time service protocol that your timeserver will send when the Prestige powers up you can enter the time manually but each time the system is booted, the time and date will be reset to 1/1/2000 0:0:0.

SNMP

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used for exchanging management information between network devices. SNMP is a member of the TCP/IP protocol suite. Your Prestige supports SNMP agent functionality, which allows a manager station to manage and monitor the Prestige through the network. The Prestige supports SNMP version one (SNMPv1).

Brute-Force Password Guessing Protection

The Prestige has a special protection mechanism to discourage brute-force password guessing attacks on the Prestige’s management interfaces. Brute-force password guessing is repeatedly trying different combinations of letters, numbers and so on until the password is found. Brute-Force Password Guessing Protection enforces a wait-time after a certain number of incorrect passwords have been entered This wait- time must expire before another password can be entered. Please see the appendices for details about configuring this feature using CI commands.1
