Check the Security of the Console Account

  1. Check whether the password of the console admin account is a simple password such as the default "admin" or "123456". Change the default password or a simple password immediately.
  2. Check whether the password of the console admin account remains unchanged within one month. If so, change and the password immediately and keep it safe.
  3. Check whether the console has redundant accounts, such as "Sangfor", "test", company name in English, and other simple undesired accounts. If so, delete the redundant accounts, and keep the authorized admin account only.

Checking the Remote Maintenance Status of the Console

Choose Network > Interfaces to view the management service, and check whether the remote maintenance status of the device is enabled to prevent the device from being accessed by unauthorized personnel from a public network interface.

Checking the Log Information of the Device

Choose System > Troubleshooting > Logs to view the operating status logs of each module of the device. With these logs, you can determine whether the modules of the device are running normally.

 

The system logs include four types: Info, Warning, Error, and Debug. Select the checkboxes under Logging Options to filter the type and the module to be displayed.

 

If a large number of logs in types Error and Warning exist in the system logs, contact the technical support engineer from Sangfor in time to check the programs of the device for failures.
