Front Panel Security
The Front Panel Security features provide the ability to independently enable
or disable some of the functions of the two buttons located on the front of the
switch for clearing the password (Clear button) or restoring the switch to its
factory default configuration (Reset+Clear buttons together). The ability to
disable Password Recovery is also provided for situations which require a
higher level of switch security.
The Front-Panel Security features are designed to prevent malicious users
from:
■ Resetting the password(s) by pressing the Clear button
■ Restoring the factory default configuration by using the Reset+Clear
button combination.
■ Gaining management access to the switch by having physical access to
the switch itself
