Services
You can configure your 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 you to manage the router over a telnet connection.
Router management – Provides for out-of-band management of the router
with the SANsurfer Router Manager.
Simple network management protocol (SNMP) – Enables you to monitor
the router using third-party applications that use SNMP.
Network time protocol (NTP) – Enables you to synchronize the router and
the workstation dates and times with an NTP server. NTP is disabled (not
configured) by default.
File transfer protocol (FTP) – Enables you to transfer files rapidly between
the workstation and router using FTP.
Secure SHell (SSH) – Provides secure and encrypted connections to
traditionally non-encrypted services.
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.
