■ The switch can store up to three configuration files. Each configuration
file contains its own security credentials and these security configurations
may differ. It is the responsibility of the system administrator to ensure
that the appropriate security credentials are contained in the
configuration file that is loaded with each software image and that all
security credentials in the file are supported.
■ If you have already enabled the storage of security credentials (including
local manager and operator passwords) by entering the include-
credentials command, the Reset-on-clear option is disabled. When you
press the Clear button on the front panel, the manager and operator
usernames and passwords are deleted from the running configuration.
However, the switch does not reboot after the local passwords are erased.
(The reset-on-clear option normally reboots the switch when you press
the Clear button.)
For more information about the Reset-on-clear option and other front-
panel security features, see "Configuring Front-Panel Security" on page
2-26 in this guide.
