Secure the Serial Port
and enter the

unless the password is
already in a valid hashed format.
The serial port allows you to configure and access the SG510 using a serial
cable. This can pose a security risk, because anyone with access to the
appliance can reconfigure the SG510 settings. This step allows you to set a
password on the serial console setup, allowing only authorized personnel the
ability to reconfigure the appliance.
WARNING! If you set the serial console password and then lose the
password, you must restore the appliance to its original factory
defaults if you want to access the Management Console or CLI
(see
“Resetting the SG510 to Factory Defaults” on page 81).
