Services
You can configure the iSR6142 router to suit the demands of your environment
using a variety of router services. Familiarize yourself with the following router
services and determine which ones you need:
Telnet – Enables router management over a telnet connection.
Router management – Provides for out-of-band router management using
the SANsurfer Router Manager.
Simple network management protocol (SNMP) – Provides monitoring of
the router using third-party applications that use SNMP.
Network time protocol (NTP) – Enables synchronizing the router and the
workstation dates and times with an NTP server. NTP is disabled (and not
configured) by default.
File transfer protocol (FTP) – Enables transferring files rapidly between
the workstation and router using FTP.
Security
Passwords provide router security. The SANsurfer Router Manager requires a
password each time a user logs into the application. Once connected, the
SANsurfer Router Manager prompts for an administrative password before it
accepts configuration changes.
The CLI also requires the user to enter a user ID and password to start. CLI must
be in an admin session to perform any set operations. An admin session requires
a password.
The default password for both these management tools is “password” for the
default user ID of “guest.” The default administrative password is “config.”
Once logged on, you can change the password using the application’s security
features.
