Attention
For Firewall Managed Switch:
Due to the introduction of the new secure password policy, the existing switch password that might not be compatible with the new password policy may result in Firewall-Switch connectivity issues.
Firmware version 1.2.0.2-6 introduced a new password policy. When upgrading from versions older than 1.2.0.2-6 to 1.2.1.0, existing passwords lead to Firewall-Switch connectivity and authorization problems.
Recommended steps for firewall-managed switch
- Upgrade the switch from the older build to the latest 1.2.1.0 through the firewall-managed user interface.
- Change the switch password (Based on the new policy) in the firewall-managed user interface under Device>Switch Network>Overview> Edit Switch section.
