You've just deployed a new Cisco router that connects several network segments in your organization. The router is physically located in a server room that requires an ID card to gain access. You've backed up the router configuration to a remote location in an encrypted file. You access the router configuration interface from your notebook computer by connecting it to the console port on the router. You've configured the management interface with a username of admin and a password of password. What should you do to increase the security of this device

Respuesta :

Answer:

  • Change the default administrative user name and password.
  • Use an SSH client to access the router configuration.

Explanation:

Remember, we are told the default username and password were simply, "admin" and "password". From a security perspective, both the password and username are weak choices. Hence, to increase the security of the notebook computer where the router configuration management interface is found, it is best you change the password.

Next, by using a Secure Shell Protocol (SSH) client to access the router configuration, the security is enhanced considering the fact the new Cisco router would connect several network segments in the organization.
