Network security is a hot topic today,Nike Zoom Kobe V Basketball Lav Black Gold, and will only increase in importance in the months and years ahead.

While most of the attention is paid to exterior threats,Nike Zoom Kobe IV Grå Blå Lilla Sko, there are some steps you can take to prevent unwanted Cisco router access from within your organization.

Whether you want to limit what certain users can do and run on your routers, or prevent unauthorized users in your company from getting to config mode in the first place, here are four important yet simple steps you can take to do so.

This is a basic Cisco router security command that is often overlooked. It doesn do you any good to set passwords for your ISDN connection or Telnet connections if anyone who can see your router running configuration can see the passwords.
