CAUTION: DO NOT exit the Security Configuration screen after saving your

Record and save your Secret string entries and make sure to verify those settings by
trying to access the devices via Telnet or NetSight using your new secret settings.
If after you save your settings and exit the screen, you loose your secret string entries,
the module will prevent you from accessing Local Management. To regain access to
Local Management, you must reset the module to its NVRAM factory default settings.
This will require you to reconfigure the user configurable settings.
To reset NVRAM, refer to your module installation guide for the procedure.
