Disclaimer
This document is designed as a reference for you to configure your devices. Its contents, including web pages, command line input and output, are based on laboratory conditions. It provides instructions for general scenarios, but does not cover all use cases of all product models. The examples given may differ from your use case due to differences in software versions, models, and configuration files. When configuring your device, alter the configuration depending on your use case.
The specifications provided in this document are tested in lab environment (for example, a certain type of cards have been installed on the tested device or only one protocol is run on the device). Results may differ from the listed specifications when you attempt to obtain the maximum values with multiple functions enabled on the device.
In this document, public IP addresses may be used in feature introduction and configuration examples and are for reference only unless otherwise specified.
Password Setting Conventions
If a password is set in plain text mode, the password is saved as the plain text in the configuration file, which brings security risks. Therefore, the cipher text mode is recommended for password setting. You are advised to change passwords regularly to ensure device security.
If a password is set to a valid cipher text (can be decrypted on the device) string that starts and ends both with @%@%, the same cipher text is displayed when you check the configuration file on the device. Therefore, this password setting method is not recommended.
