All security features are available and accessible through the Switch. In order to secure the
sRB-20210G, you must disable the sRB-20210G security features (telnet/ftp). As a result,
the sRB-20210G will only be accessible through the Switch and will benefit from the Switch
security features, such as RADIUS and sRB-20210G Filtering.
IMPORTANT:
The default configuration is not secured (telnet and ftp are enabled by default).

6.10.2.1 Disabling SNMP
The switch SNMP configuration is set by default to public/private. Change you SNMP
configuration to secure your switch. (Note that the Mellanox GUI uses the default

settings when logging into the GUI session.
To disable SNMP:
Use the following table to enter the desired commands.
