We've recently had this issue surface and are wondering how others have handled it. How do you handle password generation and distribution for a large number of geographically distributed routers that are to be co-managed by a central authority and a local person? I'm assuming someone has been down this path before.... Please send any replies, comments to rcower@netman.intel.com. thanks...rich cower, intel, 916-351-6865

We use access lists to restrict where control can be done. Then the problem of passwords is diminished. It is still a problem, because a number of people must access each machine. ----------------------------------------- asteiner@casbah.acns.nwu.edu Albert Steiner, Academic Computing and Networking, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL 60208 708-491-4056

We have made a program which runs on a SUN. This program is able to change automaticaly the password for each of our CISCOs. Yves Despond Swiss Federal institute of technology Lausanne Switzerland
