Summary
Emerson DeltaV Smart Switch Command Center application, available in versions 11.3.x and 12.3.1, was unable to change the DeltaV Smart Switches’ management password upon commissioning.

After patching the Smart Switch Command Center, users are required to either commission the DeltaV Smart Switches or change password using the tool.
