Access Lists
Access lists control which computers can attach to a specific device. When you initially set
up the SSL appliance, no access lists exist. You can restrict the computers allowed to
manage the appliance by adding their IP addresses to one or more access lists for each
device. For more information about configuring access lists, see the commands show
access-list, show access-lists, access-list, remote-management access-list, telnet
access-list, and web-mgmt access-list in Chapter C Command Summary.
Encrypted Management Sessions
To further protect the configuration security, you can specify that remote (non-serial and
non-telnet) configuration sessions be encrypted using AES, DES, or ARC4. See remote-
management encryption in Chapter C Command Summary.
Appliance Factory Default Reset Password
If you have forgotten your access or enable password, you can use a factory-set password
during a serial configuration session. When prompted for a password, enter "FailSafe"
(case-sensitive, without quotation marks). You are asked to confirm the action. The
appliance configuration reboots (reloads) with factory default settings.
Caution: All configuration is lost when using the factory default reset.
