Controlling Management Access to the ProCurve Secure Router
Securing Management Access to the ProCurve Secure Router
2-6
From the global configuration mode context, enter:
ProCurve(config)# line console 0
The ProCurve Secure Router prompt will show that you are in the console line
configuration mode context:
ProCurve(config-con0)#
Enter:
ProCurve(config-con0)#login
ProCurve(config-con0)#password <password>
Replace <password> with any combination of up to 30 characters.
The password you enter is stored as clear text and is displayed when you enter
the show running-config command, as shown below.
line con 0
login
password procurve
To encrypt the password, use the md5 option. From the global configuration
mode context, enter:
ProCurve(config-con0)# password md5 <password>
The ProCurve Secure Router then uses the MD5 hashing algorithm to encrypt
the password so that it is not readable when it is transmitted across the wire
or when you display the running-config file.
Enabling Remote Access to the ProCurve Secure
Router
As mentioned earlier, you can access the ProCurve Secure Router through the
Web browser interface, Telnet session, SSH session, or FTP session. To
establish this access, you must configure at least one interface, such as an
Ethernet interface.
