ExtremeCloud IQ Agent Communication Security
Enhancements
For ExtremeXOS 31.1, ExtremeCloud IQ Agent has enhanced communications security:
- Telnet and SSH do not permit
access to ‘hivemanager‘ account, which the IQ Agent creates for its own purpose
and uses it for all cloud-initiated SSH connections through local host, so
logging on to this account through Telnet or SSH is not allowed.
- IQ Agents now use SNMPv2 enabled
only for internal requests to monitor the status of the switch.
