Management connections to a network device must be established using secure protocols with FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic modules.
Description
Discussion Text
Administration and management connections performed across a network are inherently dangerous because anyone with a packet sniffer and access to the right LAN segment can acquire the network device account and password information. With this intercepted information they could gain access to the router and cause denial of service attacks, intercept sensitive information, or perform other destructive actions.
