CAUTION!
Security hazard – risk of unauthorized access and/or exploitation. Upon accessing BIST mode
on a device that is connected to a network, make sure SSH is disabled. Failure to disable SSH
once in BIST mode would allow anyone with remote access to the device and the root password to
access the Linux shell.
NOTE
SSH is enabled automatically once the device is rebooted in normal mode. It can also be enabled
manually by typing:
/etc/init.d/ssh start
3.
Once the device is rebooted, disable SSH immediately by typing:
/etc/init.d/ssh stop

Connect the device to the network.
