Six security methods are available to control which users are allowed to access, monitor, and 
control the switch module.

Login Security Password – used to access the Module Menu screen to start a Local Management 
session via a Telnet connection or local COM port connection. Whenever a connection is made 
to the switch module, the Local Management Password screen displays. Before continuing, you 
must enter a login password, which is compared to the stored passwords and associated 
management level access policies configured using the Security screen described in 

.

SNMP Community String – allows access to the switch module via a network SNMP 
management application. To access the switch module, you must enter an SNMP Community 
Name string. The level of management access is dependent on the SNMP Community Name and 
the associated Access Policy configured in the SNMP Community Names Configuration screen 
described in 

.

The MAC Port Configuration screen enables you to monitor the 
authentication state of the supplicants associated with each port and 
enable/disable, initialize, and force a revalidation of the port MAC 
credential. 

For more information about MAC port configuration, refer to 

.

The MAC Supplicant Configuration screen enables you to see which 
MAC authentication supplicants are active, their MAC address and 
associated module ports, and enable you to initialize or reauthenticate 
each of the supplicants.

For more information about the MAC Supplicant Configuration screen, 
refer to 

NOTE: You can set the same string as a Security login password and SNMP 
Community Name. This allows you to access and manage the switch module whether 
you are starting a Local Management session via a Telnet connection or local COM port 
connection, or using a network SNMP management application.

If the login security password is different from the SNMP Community Name, the two 
cannot be used interchangeably to access the switch module.
