configure safe-default-script
configure safe-default-script
Description
Allows you to change management access to your device and to enhance security. Runs an interactive
script that prompts you to choose to enable or disable SNMP, Telnet, Web access, and enabled ports.
Refer to
“Safe Defaults Setup Method” on page 51
in the
Extreme Networks XOS Concepts Guide
for
complete information on the safe default mode.
Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or variables.
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
Once you issue this command, the system presents you with the following interactive script:
Telnet is enabled by default. Telnet is unencrypted and has been the target of
security exploits in the past.
Would you like to disable Telnet? [y/N]: No
SNMP access is enabled by default. SNMP uses no encryption, SNMPv3 can be
configured to eliminate this problem.
Would you like to disable SNMP? [y/N]: No
All ports are enabled by default. In some secure applications, it maybe more
desirable for the ports to be turned off.
Would you like unconfigured ports to be turned off by default? [y/N]: No
Since you have chosen less secure management methods, please remember to
increase the security of your network by taking the following actions:
* change your admin password
* change your SNMP public and private strings
* consider using SNMPv3 to secure network management traffic
Example
The following command reruns the interactive script to configure management access:
configure safe-default-script
