Security
Advanced
Security
Mode – Select to enable the following additional security features and options:
• TACACS+ and RADIUS server authentication options
• Option for multiple users
• Increase password security:
– minimum 7 characters
– at least 1 alpha and 1 numeric character
– 30-minute lockout after 6 failed login attempts
Admin
Password – Enter a password for the administrator who will have full access to the router's management interface. You can use the default
password on the back of your product, or you can create a custom Administrator Password.
Advanced
Security
Mode When you enable Advanced Security Mode, you have three different options for the Authentication Mode:
• Local Users
• TACACS+
• RADIUS
Local
Users Create users with administrative privileges by inputting usernames and passwords in the Advanced
User
Management table. The
default username is "admin," but you can edit this name, or delete it once you create other users (you can't delete the user you are currently signed
in as).
In TACACS+ and RADIUS modes, if the servers cannot be reached, either because the WAN is down or a response is not received within the
selected Server Timeout, the router will automatically fall back to using Local
Users mode to prevent any potential of being locked out.
