first change a default setting to allow passwords to appear in the file.
Allowing password information in the default.cfg file
By default, administrative profiles do not display password information when you are
viewing or listing information for them or other user profiles. If you want to include
password information for administrative profiles in the default.cfg file, you must
change this default setting for the profile under which you are logged in. Otherwise,
instructions in the default.cfg file that reconfigure the administrative profiles will
not contain the passwords associated with those profiles.
If you are logged in under the admin profile, set that profile so that it displays
passwords, as in the following example. Passwords for any administrative or user
profiles will then be included in the default.cfg file that you create while logged in
under this profile.
admin> read user admin
USER/admin read
admin> set allow-password = yes
admin> write

connections by using the -p option with the save command. For details on the save
command syntax and options, see the Stinger Reference.

file must contain enough configuration information, such as Ethernet and some
ATM configuration, for the system to establish inband management. For
