Security Features Configurable Access and Authentication Profiles Rules can be configured to limit access to the switch management interface based on criteria such as access type and source IP address of the management host. The user can also be required to be authenticated locally or by an external server, such as a RADIUS server. For information about configuring access and authentication profiles, see "Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting" on page 241. Password-Protected Management Access Access to the Web, CLI, and SNMP management interfaces is password protected, and there are no default users on the system. For information about configuring local user accounts, see "Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting" on page 241. Strong Password Enforcement The Strong Password feature enforces a baseline password strength for all locally administered users. Password strength is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting guessing and brute-force attacks. The strength of a password is a function of length, complexity and randomness. Using strong passwords lowers overall risk of a security breach. For information about configuring password settings, see "Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting" on page 241. TACACS+ Client The switch has a TACACS+ client. TACACS+ provides centralized security for validation of users accessing the switch. TACACS+ provides a centralized user management system while still retaining consistency with RADIUS and other authentication processes. For information about configuring TACACS+ client settings, see "Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting" on page 241. 66 Switch Feature Overview
