MODERATORS
That could be any user logged into the CLI. Cisco is famously a network appliance company and they make admin available over the network. Anyone who can get to the LAN/VLAN these appliances are on can exploit this. So not specifically physical access.
You are right:
Holy fuck.
Yup, that's Cisco alright
You should have gone with “correct”.
~~Is that needed or useful criticism?~~
HA! I totally missed the joke. Well played.
I think it’s more a reference to your username than actual criticism.
Yeah, I thought that would land better.
Oh GEEZ! Sorry, I had a VERY literal day at work today. Completely flew over my head.
It’s all good. I’ve been having some of those days for what feels like the past month or two now. Hope work chills out for you!
Management interface is only available locally
The management interface can 100% be put on LAN and often is.
Okay sure then you're asking for trouble. You could also configure the word password as your password.
I agree, its not something I would do.
Doesn't change that it happens.
