In either of these configurations, for additional redundancy you can use two switches. If you use two redundant
switches, the static aggregate interface should span across both switches.
Adding a password to the admin administrator account
For security purposes one of the first things you should do is add a password to the admin account.
Depending on your firmware version, when you first log into the GUI you maybe presented with an option to change the
admin account password.
From the GUI, access the Global GUI and go to
System > Administrators
, edit the
admin
account, and select
Change Password
.
From the CLI:
config global
config system admin
edit admin
set password <new-password>
end
