Provisioning an X-Switch on a TZ
•
Provisioning through the X-Series switch user interface
•
Provisioning through the CLI
IMPORTANT:
If the topology has two X-Series switches, both X-Series switches must be connected directly
to the firewall and not cascaded, that is, one X-Series switch cannot be connected to the other X-Series
switch, which is then connected to the firewall.
IMPORTANT:
When an extended switch has been powered off and then the firewall is restarted
(rebooted), it may take up to 5 minutes before the firewall discovers the extended switch and reports the
Status of the switch as Connected.
When configuring extended switches in a PortShield group, it may take up to 5 minutes for the configura-
tion to be displayed on the Network > PortShield Groups page.
IMPORTANT:
By default, SSH is disabled on the management interface. You must enable SSH on the
management interface to allow remote log in.

On the X-Series switch, locate the white label containing the default IP address, Network Mask, user ID,
