Security Considerations
There are two security-related issues to consider when planning your
Passport 4400 device management operations.
Community Strings
The Passport 4400 uses SNMP Version 1 for all of its dev ice management
operations (confi guring, monitoring, resetting, and so forth). SNMP Version 1
uses community strings to control access to devices in a network. Since these are
simple text strings, they are relatively insecure.
25
You can use the Passport 4400 Configurator or the Passport 4400 CLI to change
your community strings. Install Tool allows you to specify a node’s community
string (password) when you establish a connection with the node, but it does not
include a provision to change the community string.
Dial- Up Connections
The Passport 4400 provides a PPP stack, thereby enabling access to Passport 4400
nodes through dial-up connections. This PPP implementation doe s not provide
authentication controls. Therefor e, if you connect a modem to a Passport 44 00 to
support a dial- up connec tion , tha t node bec omes accessi ble to a ny rem ote hos t t hat
knows the phone number of the modem and the community string of that node.
Furthermore, any host that successfully connects to a dial-up port can potentially
gain access to all devices that are visible to the Passport 4400.
It is recommended that you take appropriate measures to protect your network
from unauthorize d access. For example:
• If you access a Passport 4400 through a dial-up connecti on, disconnect the
modem from the Passport 4400 at the completion of your session.
• Consider using a dial-back modem rather than a dial-up modem.

• Treat your community strings as passwords and manage them as you would
any other password system.
For more information about dial-up connections, refer to “Connecting a
Workstation” on page 27 and “Configuring a Dia l-Up Networking Connection”
on page 46.

Readying a New Passport 4400
A factory-new Passport 44 00 requires some prepar ation before you can configure
it using Install Tool. The following manuals provide specif ic instructions for
Passport 4400 physical installation, preparation, and cable connections:

Ethernet Connection
The Passport 4400 is shipped from the factory with a pre-configur ed IP address
(192.168.200.200). You can connect your workstation to the unit using the
Ethernet port, as long as the worksta tion is in the same IP segment as the
Passport 4400.
Example
This illustration shows an Ethernet connection on a Passport 4460.

If your workstation’s Ethernet port is not configured for the same IP segment as
that of the Passport 4400, you must connect your workstation to the unit ove r the
management port, as describe d in “Management Por t Direct Connection” on
page 29 and “Management Port M odem Connection” on page 30.

Management Port Direct Connection
If the PC and Passport 4400 are in physical proximity to one another, you can
directly connect them using the management cable supplied with the
Passport 4400.

About the Management Cables
There are two types of management cables used on Passport 4400 units:
• Use management cable number NTAU17AA for Passport 4430,
Passport 4450, and Passport 4455 units. In this case, you connect the DB-25
end of the cable to the PC and the RJ-45 end of the cable to the Passport 4400
management port. ( You may need a 9 pin-to- 25 pin RS-232 ser ial port a dapte r
or a female-t o-female 25-pin ad ap ter t o connect the cable to the PC.)
• Use management cable 207490-A for Passport 4460 units. This is a standard
DB9 femal e to DB9 fem al e seri al cabl e.

Management Port Modem Connection
If the PC and the Passport 4400 are not in physical proximity to one another, you
can connect them through a modem.
Note: For more detailed infor mation on connecting a modem to the
Passport 4400, see the hardware reference manuals.
Passport 4430/50/55 Modem Connections
With Passport 4430, Passport 4450, and Passpor t 4455 units, you use a null
modem cable to connect the modem to the management port.
