Secure Remote Network Administration and Power Management
Abstract
Remote Network Administration allows network administrators to manage their networks while being physically separated from the network equipment. Having the capability to manage wired and wireless networks securely, from remote locations, can substantially reduce operating expenses across the entire Department of Defense. A variety of methods for remotely managing networks is explored for both wired and wireless networks. Requirements for remote network administration are identified. Chief among them is security and the ability to remotely manage power. Several widely-used remote management utilities are examined. All fail to meet these two requirements. A new power control device is presented that can be managed securely and remotely.
