if the manufacturer thought about security, there would be no empty password and an active interface when deploying a cloud image. how you can run such an image in the cloud with such settings is not clear at all. Have you studied at least the customer usage scenario ? do you understand that everyone always has VPS/VDI with open ports and interfaces? it was possible to change the password and enable the network interface only through the locale.

@gabacho4/@ns88ns: it’s like any other business router that you need to configure before deploying. The same goes for Cisco, Juniper, etc. It’s not really “best practice” to deploy a solution before it is fully configured. In the case of CHR, for example, use the internal v-switch for configuration.
Also, most professionals use sandboxed environments to simulate access which are available in most clouds or use GNS3/EVE-NG (or sometimes a combination of both)
Pretty basic, I would say ?
I know in some parts of the world it’s a bit different but in Belgium, all houses have a front/back door which is always locked (should be, you can even get a fine when you leave it open since that would potentially invite burglars).
You don’t move in your furniture or personal stuff without making sure that door can be locked.
Same thing needs to be done on a router. First get your initial setup in order before using it in the Big Bad World.
