3.2 Administrator Password
For security reasons, only the administration user named root can initially log into your Console Server. Only those people who 
know the root password can access and reconfigure the Console Server i\
tself.
However, anyone who correctly guesses the root password (and the default root \
password which is default) could gain access. 
It is therefore essential that you enter and confirm a new root passwo\
rd before giving the Console...

By default, the Console Server Ethernet interfaces support IPv. However, they can also be configured for IPv6 operation:
• On the System: IP menu select General Settings page and check Enable IPv6
 
• You will then need to configure the IPv6 parameters on each network int\
erface page

3.3.2 Dynamic DNS (DDNS) configuration
Dynamic DNS (DDNS) enables a Console Server with a dynamically assigne\
d IP address (that may change from time to time) 
to be located using a fixed host or domain name.
• The first step in enabling DDNS is to create an account with the suppo\
rted DDNS service provider of your choice. 
Supported DDNS providers include:
  o DyNS www.dyns.cx 
  o dyndns.org www.dyndns.org
  o GNUDip gnudip.cheapnet.net 
  o ODS www.ods.org 
  o TZO www.tzo.com

3.4 System Services and Service Access
Service Access specifies which access protocols/services can be used t\
o access the Console Server (and connected serial ports). 
The Administrator can access and configure the Console Server (and co\
nnected devices) using a range of access protocols/
services – and for each such access, the particular service must be r\
unning with access through the firewall enabled. 
By default HTTP, HTTPS, Telnet and SSH services are running, and these services are enabled...

3.4.1  Brute force protection
Brute force protection (Micro Fail2ban) temporarily blocks source IPs that show malicious signs, such as too many password 
failures. This may help mitigate scenarios where the appliance’s netw\
ork services are exposed to an untrusted network such 
as the public WAN, and scripted attacks or software worms are attempting to guess (bru\
te force) user credentials and gain 
unauthorized access.
Brute Force Protection may be enabled...
