After login, you can change console or AUX login parameters or configure other access methods, including Telnet, SSH, and SNMP. FIPS compliance The device supports the FIPS mode that complies with NIST FIPS 140-2 requirements. Support for features, commands, and parameters might differ in FIPS mode and non-FIPS mode. For more information about FIPS mode, see Security Configuration Guide. In FIPS mode, the device does not support Telnet login.

After login, configure password or scheme authentication mode to improve device security. By default, Telnet login is disabled. To Log in through Telnet, complete the following configuration tasks: • Enable the Telnet server function. • Assign an IP address to a Layer 3 interface and make sure the interface and the Telnet client can reach each other. • Configure an authentication mode for VTY login users. By default, password authentication is used but no password is configured. • Assign a user role to VTY login users (network-operator by default). By default, SSH login is disabled. To log in through SSH, complete the following configuration tasks: • Enable the SSH server function and configure SSH attributes. • Assign an IP address to a Layer 3 interface and make sure the interface and the SSH client can reach each other. • Configure scheme authentication for VTY login users (password authentication by default). • Assign a user role to VTY login users (network-operator by default). 15

interface and the Telnet client can reach each other.
Configure an authentication mode for VTY login users. By default,
password authentication is used but no password is configured.
Assign a user role to VTY login users (network-operator by default).
Logging in through SSH
By default, SSH login is disabled.
To log in through SSH, complete the following configuration tasks:
Enable the SSH server function and configure SSH attributes.
Assign an IP address to a Layer 3 interface and make sure the
interface and the SSH client can reach each other.
Configure scheme authentication for VTY login users (password
authentication by default).
Assign a user role to VTY login users (network-operator by default).
