Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your X2002
1.2 Ways to Manage the X2002
Use any of the following methods to manage the X2002.
• Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the X2002 using a
web browser. You can also use the web configurator for firmware upgrades and
configuration backup/restore.
• Command Line Interface. Line commands offer an alternative to the web configurator and
in some cases are necessary to configure advanced features.
• FTP. Use FTP for firmware upgrades.
1.3 Good Habits for Managing the X2002
Do the following things regularly to make the X2002 more secure and to manage the X2002
more effectively.
• Change the administrator password. Use a password that's not easy to guess and that
consists of different types of characters, such as numbers and letters.
• Write down the administrator password and put it in a safe place.
• Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an
earlier working configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even
crashes. If you forget your password, you will have to reset the X2002 to its factory
default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to
totally re-configure the X2002. You could simply restore your last configuration.
