Secure security policy

The CMM Secure security policy is the most secure and least flexible setting that is available for your configuration.

The Secure security policy establishes a more restrictive chassis infrastructure with a higher level of control over users and chassis configuration. It helps secure the chassis environment and enforces the following conditions:

• Stronger complex password policies for CMM user accounts.
  Note

  For more information about the default password policy settings for the Secure security policy, see High user account policy settings.
• Mandatory change of password for all user accounts at first login. Updated passwords that replace the manufacturing default passwords are required after the initial setup.
• Only secure communication protocols can be enabled. Communication protocols that are not secure are disabled: FTP, SNMPv1, Telnet, TFTP, FTP, and non-secure TCP command mode.

You can select the Secure security policy by using the CMM web interface or the CMM CLI.

• In the CMM web interface, select Security from the Mgt Module Management menu; then, on the Security Policies page use the slider bar to select Secure, and click Apply. All fields and options are fully described in the CMM web interface online help.
• In the CMM CLI, use the security -p secure command (see security command for information about command use).
