Using security in your network
ATTENTION
By default, password security is disabled for the non-SSH software image and
enabled for the SSH software image.
Default passwords
For the standard software image, the default password for RO is "user"
and "secure" for RW.
For the secure software image, the default password for RO is "userpasswd"
and "securepasswd" for RW.
HTTP port number change
With this feature, you can define the UDP or TCP port number used for
HTTP connections to the switch.
This feature provides enhanced security and network access. Port number
80 is the default port for communication between the Web client and the
server. With this feature, you can modify the HTTP port while the switch is
running. The HTTP port value is saved in NVRAM, and also is saved across
reboots of the switch.
For more information, see
"Changing the http port number" (page 43)

Simple Network Management Protocol
The Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series supports Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP).
SNMP is traditionally used to monitor Unix systems, Windows systems,
printers, modem racks, switches, routers, power supplies, Web servers,
and databases. Any device that runs software that can retrieve SNMP
information can be monitored.
You can also use SNMP to change the state of SNMP-based devices. For
example, you can use SNMP to shut down an interface on your device.
SNMP Version 1 (SNMPv1)
SNMP Version 1 (SNMPv1) is a historic version of the SNMP protocol. It
is defined in RFC 1157 and is an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)
standard.
