Console
Event and status messages and processes like changes of interfaces, user login events and
changes of the system states are stored in an internal memory, refer to Chapter 2.26, "Syslog
and Device Internal Log".
In addition to storing the messages in the system log, they are also sent to the first available
management console that has at least login permissions. It is called terminal monitor.
Alternatively, the terminal monitor can be redirected to any other management console by a
command from the target management console.

User Authentication

Access to the command line interface (CLI) (refer to Chapter 2.2, "Handling of the Command
Line Interface (CLI)") and the web interface (refer to Chapter 2.5, "Handling in the Web
Interface" ) is protected by a two-step authorization concept (refer to Chapter 2.2.6,
"Operation Modes - View (Login) and Configuration (Enable)").
The default value for passwords is "" (empty). It is recommended to set a new password
during first login. This reminder will appear as long as no password is not set.
The following sections describe how the device can be protected against unauthorized
access.
The web application login (local authentication) is not used for user administration. It
is recommended to manage the user administration via Radius which supports various
password policys. The local authentication does not support password policies.
