Review the switch configuration and verify that the default VLAN is not used to access the switch for management.

Verify access interfaces used for management are assigned to an appropriate VLAN as in the example below.
[edit interfaces]
{
unit 0 {
family ethernet-switching {
interface-mode access;
vlan {
members ;
}
}
}
}

If the default VLAN is being used to access the switch, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-57372r843939_fix)
Configure the switch for management access to use a VLAN other than the default VLAN.

set interfaces unit 0 family ethernet-switching interface-mode access
