From the sample of (insert number and or description of sample) system components, verify that non-console administrative access is encrypted by:

PCI-2.3 B: Reviewing services and parameter files on sampled systems to determine that Telnet and other remote log-in commands are not available for use internally.


PCI-2.3 C: Verifying that administrator access to the wireless management interface is encrypted with SSL/TLS. Alternatively, verify that administrators cannot connect remotely to the wireless management interface (all management of wireless environments is only from the console).
