Most hardware security is implemented through software measures.
Refer to the switch documentation for additional guidelines to implement security features within the firmware.
Refer to the OFOS and OFM documentation to enable any security features available for the software suite.
Manage the switch out-of-band through the SER MGT port. This port is separate from data traffic and the general network.
If out-of-band management is not feasible, then dedicate a unique VLAN number specifically for in-band management.
Change all default passwords as soon as possible when installing a new switch. The switch has one default user account, root. The root user has superuser privileges. The default password is changeme. Change the password with the Oracle ILOM set /SP/users/root password=password command, preferably before the switch is connected to the network.
Schedule and regularly change every password on the switch, especially when configured with additional user accounts.
