Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it important NOT to configure an organization on an active account?
It's crucial to avoid configuring an organization on an active account, especially one that owns many devices, to prevent potential issues.
Why should I enable SSH, and are there any risks involved?
Enabling SSH facilitates troubleshooting, manual firmware flashing, and restoration processes. While enabling it doesn't void the warranty, modifying the system via SSH using commands like APT-GET can lead to issues and potentially require a TFTP flash for recovery.
Should I enable or disable auto-updates, and what's the difference between OS/Console and Application updates?
It is crucial to disable auto-updates for the OS/Console to prevent unexpected downtime. However, auto-updates for applications can be kept enabled as they typically do not cause downtime and are easily revertable.
What are the benefits of setting up a custom subdomain and company name for the organization?
After setting up the organization, configuring a custom subdomain (yourcompany.ui.com) and company name allows users to access Network/Access/Protect through a custom-branded portal.
