Vertical Console Port Server

Changing default user names and passwords 
immediately
As soon as you complete the installation and initial configuration of the 
VCPS, immediately change the default user name and password. 
Configuring unique user names and passwords is essential to establish 
basic security for your system.
Port assignments
If the Telnet, FTP, or SSH/SCP server uses a non-standard port, a user 
must specify the port when connecting to the VCPS. The non-standard port 
address becomes an extra “password,” hiding the server to provide an 
additional level of security. The TCP ports for which these 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.
User names, passwords, community names (SNMP)
All user names, passwords, and community names for SNMP are 
transferred over the network as plain text. A user who is capable of 
monitoring the network traffic can determine the user names and 
passwords required to log on to the accounts of the control console of the 
VCPS. If your network requires the higher security of the encryption-based 
options available for the control console, be sure to disable SNMP access 
or set its access to read-only. (Read-only access allows you to receive 
status information and to use SNMP traps.)
