1.2 Ways to Manage the FMG

This is recommended for management of the FMG using a (supported) web browser.

1.3 Good Habits for Managing the FMG

Do the following things regularly to make the FMG more secure and to manage the FMG more
effectively.
• Change the 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 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 FMG to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier
configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the FMG. You could simply restore your
last configuration.
