Requirement Description
NOTE: The default certificate installed in the controller does not guarantee security in production networks. Dell strongly
recommends that you replace the default certificate with a custom certificate issued for your site or domain by a trusted
Certificate Authority. See the Dell Networking W-Series ArubaOS 6.4.x User Guide for more information about certificates.
NOTE: The optional configuration settings described in the section above cannot be configured when running initial setup on a
serial port connection.
