Description
KVM switches that support Dialup Remote Access (RAS) do not support a robust identification and authorization process or robust auditing. This feature will not be used. The tamper resistant seals over the port(s) that support this feature will serve as an indicator that the feature may have been used for unauthorized access to the KVM switch. The IAO has not ensured that if the KVM switch has the ability to support a RAS connection, this feature is disabled and the connectors on the KVM switch supporting this feature are blocked with a tamper resistant seal.
