Which goes to show that they just really don't get it when it comes to security. Maybe they should look here at all the entries for 'default credentials':
Roland, this isn't the home wi-fi market we're talking about. Anyone that's going to buy one of these puppies is going to have a clue about putting their password in. BTW: You have to be on the console or the management port on them to use the default password (ok, you could get on the right VLAN too.) Problem solved, except for those cases where the operator is a total idiot. Trust me, the shop I'm working for isn't that way, not with the size of the roll-out we're doing (25k+ switches.) I liked what you said about firewalls vs. servers but, to be honest, in this thread you're really beating a dead horse. -Joe -- Joe Hamelin, W7COM, Tulalip, WA, 360-474-7474
