To provision the X-Series switch on a TZ series appliance through the X-Series switch user
interface:
1 Ensure the TZ series appliance is running SonicOS 6.2.5.1 or higher.
If necessary, upgrade the appliance’s firmware.
2 On the X-Series switch, locate the white label containing the default IP address, Network Mask, user ID,
and password.
Record this information as you will need it when configuring the switch on the firewall.
IMPORTANT:
If the topology has two X-Series switches, both X-Series switches must be connected directly
to the firewall and not cascaded, that is, one X-Series switch cannot be connected to the other X-Series
switch, which is then connected to the firewall.
IMPORTANT:
When an extended switch has been powered off and then the firewall is restarted
(rebooted), it may take up to 5 minutes before the firewall discovers the extended switch and reports the
Status
of the switch as
Connected
.
When configuring extended switches in a PortShield group, it may take up to 5 minutes for the configura-
tion to be displayed on the
Network > PortShield Groups
page.
IMPORTANT:
By default, SSH is disabled on the management interface. You must enable SSH on the
management interface to allow remote log in.
