SSD Rules
Cisco 350, 350X and 550X Series Managed Switches, Firmware Release 2.4, ver 0.4
- (Higher) Plaintext Only—Users are permitted to access sensitive data in plaintext
only. Users will also have read and write permission to SSD parameters as well.
- (Highest) Both—Users have both encrypted and plaintext permissions and are
permitted to access sensitive data as encrypted and in plaintext. Users will also

• Default Read Mode—All default read modes are subjected to the read permission of
the rule. The following options exist, but some might be rejected, depending on the
read permission. If the user-defined read permission for a user is Exclude (for
example), and the default read mode is Encrypted, the user-defined read permission
prevails.
- Exclude—Do not allow reading sensitive data.
- Encrypted—Sensitive data is presented in encrypted form.
- Plaintext—Sensitive data is presented in plaintext form.
Each management channel allows specific read presumptions. The following
summarizes these.
