6.2 Upload SSH keys
The first time a device is accessed via SSH by a host, its IP should be added to the known hosts
list as illustrated below. Then the password corresponding to the root user will be asked (default
password is ‘
root
’
as detailed in 0).
The authenticity of host ‘192.168.7.35 (192.168.7.35)’ can’t be
established. ECDSA key fingerprint is
SHA256:YgGTNfRPHYH4ekrJxDSHl7460dSs.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? Yes
Warning: Permanently added ‘192.168.7.

hosts.

In order to improve security, it is strongly recommended to upload your public key to the device
instead of using a password.
This can easily be done by running the command:
ssh-copy-id root@<device_ip>
This setting is also available in the Expert mode of the GUI under
Security >
Authentication > SSH public key only (disable password)
. Choose Yes in the
field, Save, and Reboot your device to activate changes.
6.3 HTTPS
Hypertext Transfer Protocol over TLS (HTTPS) is the encapsulation of HTTP over a Transport Layer
Security (TLS) secured channel, which is the primary protocol used to send data between a web
browser and a website.
