Security Overview
Introduction
Introduction
This chapter provides an overview of the security features included on your
switch. Table 1-1 on page 1-3 outlines the access security and authentication
features, while Table 1-2 on page 1-7 highlights the additional features
designed to help secure and protect your network. For detailed information
on individual features, see the references provided.
Before you connect your switch to a network, ProCurve strongly recommends
that you review the section titled “Getting Started with Access Security” on
page 1-10. It outlines potential threats for unauthorized switch and network
access, and provides guidelines on how to prepare the switch for secure
network operation.
About This Guide
This Access Security Guide describes how to configure security features on
your switch.
Note For an introduction to the standard conventions used in this guide, refer to
the Getting Started chapter in the Management and Configuration Guide for
your switch.
For More Information
For IPv6-specific security settings and features, refer to the IPV6
Configuration Guide for your switch.
For information on which product manual to consult for a specific software
feature, refer to the “Software Feature Index” on page xx of this guide.
For the latest version of all ProCurve switch documentation, including
Release Notes covering recently added features and other software topics,

Access Security Features
This section provides an overview of the switch’s access security features,
authentication protocols, and methods. Table 1-1 lists these features and
provides summary configuration guidelines. For more in-depth information,
see the references provided (all chapter and page references are to this Access
Security Guide unless a different manual name is indicated).
Note Beginning with software release W.14.xx, the Management Interface wizard
provides a convenient step-by-step method to prepare the switch for secure
network operation. See “Quick Start: Using the Management Interface Wizard”
on page 1-11 for details.

Telnet and enabled The default remote management protocols enabled on
Web-browser the switch are plain text protocols, which transfer
access passwords in open or plain text that is easily captured.
SSH disabled SSH provides Telnet-like functions through encrypted,
Security Guidelines More Information and
To reduce the chances of unauthorized users capturing
your passwords, secure and encrypted protocols such
as SSH and SSL (see below for details) should be used
for remote access. This enables you to employ
increased access security while still retaining remote
client access.
Also, access security on the switch is incomplete
without disabling Telnet and the standard Web browser
access. Among the methods for blocking unauthorized
access attempts using Telnet or the Web browser are
the following two CLI commands:
• no telnet-server: This command blocks inbound
Telnet access.
• no web-management : This command prevents use of
the Web browser interface through http (port 80)
server access.
If you choose not to disable Telnet and Web browser
access, you may want to consider using RADIUS
accounting to maintain a record of password-protected
access to the switch.
authenticated transactions of the following types:
• client public-key authentication: uses one or more
public keys (from clients) that must be stored on the
switch. Only a client with a private key that matches
a stored public key can gain access to the switch.
• switch SSH and user password authentication: this
option is a subset of the client public-key
authentication, and is used if the switch has SSH
enabled without a login access configured to
authenticate the client’s key. In this case, the switch
authenticates itself to clients, and users on SSH
clients then authenticate themselves to the switch by
providing passwords stored on a RADIUS or
TACACS+ server, or locally on the switch.
• secure copy (SC) and secure FTP (SFTP): By opening
a secure, encrypted SSH session, you can take
advantage of SC and SFTP to provide a secure
alternative to TFTP for transferring sensitive switch
information. For more on SC and SFTP, refer to the
section titled “Using Secure Copy and SFTP” in the
“File Transfers” appendix of the Management and
Configuration Guide for your switch.
