Netopia R5200 用户手册

screens and your local network from unauthorized access. Although these features are optional, it is strongly 
recommended that you use them.

In addition to setting up user accounts, Telnet access, and filters (all of which are covered later in this chapter), 
there are other actions you can take to make the Netopia R5000 Series Router and your network more secure:

■

Change the SNMP community strings (or passwords). The default community strings are universal and 
could easily be known to a potential intruder.

■

Set the answer profile so it must match incoming calls to a connection profile.

■

Leave the Enable Dial-in Console Access option set to No.

■

When using AURP, accept connections only from configured par tners.

■

Configure the Netopia R5000 Series Router through the serial console por t to ensure that your 
communications cannot be intercepted.

When you first set up and configure the Netopia R5000 Series Router, no passwords are required to access the 
configuration screens. Anyone could tamper with the router’s configuration by simply connecting it to a console.

However, by adding user accounts, you can protect the most sensitive screens from unauthorized access. User 
accounts are composed of name/password combinations that can be given to authorized users.
