Management
Management access
This
section
provides
details
of
how
to
work
with
the
SEG
management
interfaces.
The
following
interfaces
are
available:
•
Command
line
interface
(CLI)
The
Command
Line
Interface
(CLI)
is
accessible
either
locally
via
a
computer’s
serial
console
port
or
remotely
using
the
Secure
Shell
(SSH)
protocol.
It
provides
fine
‐
grained
control
over
all
parameters
in
the
SEG.
This
feature
is
described
further
in
Command
line
interface
on
page
15
.
•
SNMP
A
Secure
Network
Management
Protocol
(SNMP)
client
can
connect
to
the
SEG
and
provide
read
‐
only
access
to
the
current
SEG
configuration.
This
feature
is
described
further
in
SNMP
monitoring
on
page
31
.
File transfer with secure copy
Secure
Copy
(SCP)
is
a
widely
used
communication
protocol
for
file
transfer.
SCP
is
a
complement
to
the
CLI
and
provides
a
secure
means
of
file
transfer
between
the
administrator's
external
management
workstation
and
the
SEG.
Various
files
used
by
the
SEG,
such
as
configuration
backups,
can
be
both
uploaded
and
downloaded
using
SCP.
No
specific
SCP
client
is
provided
with
SEG
distributions.
However,
there
is
a
wide
selection
of
third
‐
party
SCP
clients
for
nearly
all
workstation
platforms.
This
feature
is
described
further
in
Secure
copy
on
page
30
.
Local user databases
By
default,
the
SEG
provides
a
default
LocalUserDatabase
object
that
is
used
to
authenticate
management
logins.
This
database
contains,
at
minimum,
one
predefined
user
account:
Username:
admin
Password:
admin
This
account
has
full
administrative
read/write
privileges
to
all
configuration
data
and
is
always
the
account
used
for
initial
SSH
login
(console
access
does
not
require
login
in
the
default
configuration).
Important:
For
security
reasons,
it
is
recommended
to
change
the
password
for
the
default
account
as
soon
as
possible
following
the
initial
configuration
of
the
SEG.
