Security Features

Planning and implementing security features

As a network device that passes information across the network, the

MasterSwitch VM is subject to the same exposure as other devices on the

network.

Use the information in this section to plan and implement the security

features appropriate for your environment.

Port assignments

If a Telnet, FTP, or Web server uses a non-standard port, a user must

specify the port when using the client interface, such as a Web browser.

The non-standard port address becomes an extra “password,” hiding the

server to provide an additional level of security. The TCP ports for which the

Telnet,

FTP, and Web servers listen are initially set at the standard “well

known ports” for the protocols. To hide the interfaces, use any port numbers

from

5000 to 65535.

ote

The security features described in this section do not apply

to monitoring performed with the Com2Telnet program.

These features apply are available only if you are using the

MasterSwitch VM controller
