Security Management And Password Configuration - D-Link DGS-3100 SERIES Hardware Installation Manual

Security Management and Password Configuration

System security is handled through the mechanism that manages user access rights, privileges, and management methods.
AAA uses both local and remote user databases. Data encryption is handled through the SSH mechanism.
The system is delivered with no default password configured; all passwords are user-defined.
NOTE: If a user-defined password is lost or corrupted, please refer to the D-Link website and the
White Paper entitled "Password Recovery Procedure", which will guide you through the steps
necessary to resolve this issue
The procedure is applicable for the local terminal only and allows a one-time access to the device from the local terminal
with no password entered.
The security passwords can be configured for the following services:
•
Console
•
Telnet
•
SSH
Passwords are user-defined.
When creating a User name, it is possible to define its privilege level; a user with the privilege level of USER is allowed
only to view the configuration, whereas a user with a privilege level of ADMIN is allowed to change the configuration as
well as viewing it. Without a password, it is recommended to always assign a password. If there is no specified password,
privileged users can access the Web interface with any password. (config account command)
