Description
Authentication for administrative access to the device is required at all times. A single account can be created on the device's local database for use in an emergency such as when the authentication server is down or connectivity between the device and the authentication server is not operable. Temporary accounts could be used for vendor support in order to perform diagnostics. There is a risk the temporary account may remain in place and active after the vendor support team has left. The temporary account could have the highest privilege level which would enable an administrator to gain unauthorized privileges to the device. This requirement is applicable to network device management and is not applicable to the routing function.
