Question about Local credentials.

[Jose Lopez]

Hello,

I have to move a MX to a different location and the public address will be different.

I have set Local Credentials for Network-wide, and I am wondering if the device loses connection to the cloud, will it keep the password saved through the Dashboard in memory?

Thanks,

Are you referring to the Local Status Page?

If so - and assuming you've configured the password via the Network-wide > Settings page in the Network - and you're not moving the device serial number to a different Network, the password will stay the same

Yes, I have changed the password in Network-wide > Configure > General > Device configuration.

So, someone else will move the device and change the configuration (uplink) using the local page and my question is if they should use the password set or Serial number to login, since the MX will be disconnected from the cloud.

They will need to use the password you have set.
