Description:

The remote switch has a weak password. This means that anyone
who has (downloaded) a user manual can telnet to it and gain
administrative access.

Solution: Telnet to this switch and set passwords under
'Console/Comm Port Configuration' for both read only and
read write. Then, set the parameter 'Console Switch Password'
or 'Console Stack Password' to 'Required for TELNET' or
'Required for Both'.
