Net Ops WG (1)
Leader – Art Deacon, AT&T
Recommendations (short-term):
- Network management should use one-time keys, crypto sums on software upgrades, strong AAA methods, avoid static passwords, and use encrypted management traffic with strong authentication
- Repetitive tasks should be automated and APIs such as SNMP/XML for configuration should be available
- Protection of management flows via ACLs etc; logged and auditable management traffic/sessions
- Documented network access policy
