1. The system default configuration is summarized as below:
The default device administration username is "admin", password is "1234".
The default LAN interface is ge1, which locates on the most left side of front panel. The
default LAN subnet is 192.168.1.0/24.
By default, WWW/SSH/SNMP service can only be accessed from LAN subnet.
The default WAN interface is ge2, and the secondary WAN interface is ge3. These two
interfaces will automatically get IP address using DHCP by default.
2. It is recommended that user backs up "startup-config.conf file" first before upgrade. The
backup configuration file can be used later when user wants to downgrade to an older firmware
version. Please refer to Appendix I for upgrade / downgrade procedure.
3. If user upgrades from 1.0x version to this version, there is no need to restore to system default
configuration.
4. If user upgrades from 1.0x version to this version, all App. Patrol BWM rules would not be
applied to system. User needs to re-configure BWM related rules. It is because the App. Patrol
BWM design concept is different from 1.0x release. User may refer to following two sections
in User Guide to configure their BWM policy.
Section 27.4: Bandwidth Management
Section 27.5: Application Patrol Bandwidth Management Example
5. If user upgrades from 1.0x version to this version and wants to configure L2TP over IPSec,
user needs to create VPN connection for L2TP manually. Refer to the Known Issues list of this
document, L2TP section, for details.
6. It is recommended for user to clear browser cache before configuring the device using GUI. It
helps to avoid confusion that browser cache carries previous release GUI information (popup
java script error, etc).
