Authentication versus encryption
The Network Management Card controls access by providing basic
authentication through user names, passwords, and
IP addresses, but
provides no type of encryption. These basic security features are sufficient
for most environments, in which sensitive data is not being transferred.
To ensure that data and communication between the Network Management
Card and the client interfaces, such as Telnet and the Web browser, cannot
be captured, you can provide a greater level of security by enabling MD5
authentication (for the Web interface).
