FAQ - Add device to the known hosts

Introduction

You need to add the Nx70 to the known hosts.

It has to be the Common Name (CN) as configured in the Nx70 client certificate there can be 2 types of CN:

  1. Einstein2
  2. MAC address of the device
  3. CN of new uploaded client certificate (Via web-interface)

Which, depends on the Nx70: First devices where produced with CN = Einstein2, later we have changed it to use the MAC address of the device.


How to check CN

  1. Enable the CLI access via SSH
  2. Go to: SETTINGS - System - Web configurator

  4. Now access the device via an SSL tool and login using: Username: cli and password: <what your created>
  5. Check if you have an /config/ssl directory
  6. If not then you need to use the Common Name (CN) = Einstein2

Add CN to your hosts file
