Insecure protocols and secure alternatives

Out of the box, Aruba switches enable Telnet, Simple Network Management Protocol v1/2c (SNMP v1/2c), Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) and Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) for device management purposes. These protocols are supported out of the box because they provide an ease of use that customers expect from the Aruba switch product line. For the sake of securing these devices, these protocols should be disabled.
