- It is recommended to always disable unused physical interfaces with the shutdown The command is described in detail in the Interface monitoring and configuration section of the CLI Command Reference.
- It is recommended to always set the system clock to synchronize with trusted network time sources (NTP). The NTP setup algorithm is described in the NTP configuration section of this manual. For detailed information on the NTP configuration commands, see System timer management in the CLI Command Reference.
- It is recommended to disable the NTP broadcast client, which is enabled by default in the factory configuration.
- It is not recommended to use the ip firewall disable command that disables firewalling. Always assign appropriate security zones to interfaces and configure the correct firewall rules. The firewall configuration algorithm is described in the Firewall configuration section of this manual. For detailed information on the Firewall configuration commands, see Firewall management in the CLI Command Reference.
