Definately!! So long as no-one else "untrustworthy" has physical access to the switch. We do this on all our switches, it's not the only way to secure them, but it does make it quite a bit more difficult to gain access to, and to manage. Your network team will probably hate you if you go this route, but hey. xyberpix On Mon, 18 October, 2004 9:06 pm, Okiwaso said:
Would it be more secure to only enable access to a Cisco switch via console so Cisco exploits could not potentially reach it through internet traffic that may have got past firewall, IDS, etc ? Thanks, Oki
