Dell VxRail Security Configuration Guide
Network security
VxRail networking is configured during installation. Consult with your sales representative or partner to prepare your switches and network before installation.
Interface security
Interfaces within the VxRail use TLS version 1.2 and 1.3 for secure
communications that includes:
- VxRail Manager (TLS 1.3 since 7.0.320)
- All VxRail APIs (TLS 1.3 since 7.0.320)
- VMware vSphere APIs and UIs (TLS 1.3 since 8.0.300)
Services
Unnecessary accounts and services are disabled. Network communications are encrypted and authenticated between components using HTTPS or SSH. Clear-text protocols such as Telnet or FTP are not installed.
SSH is disabled by default on the VxRail nodes. If required, SSH is dynamically enabled and disabled once the operation is concluded. If you override the configuration and enable SSH on the VxRail nodes, VxRail cannot disable the service after use. The set configuration is retained.
SSH is enabled by default on the VxRail Manager, but root login is not permitted. You must log in as the mystic user.
