Remember to enter yes or y when the CLI asks you whether you want to overwrite the
Startup configuration.

Setting Up Passwords

You can password protect CLI access to the IA 1100/1200 by setting up passwords for
login access and Enable access. Users who have a login password but not an Enable
password can use only the commands available in User mode. Users with an Enable
password can use the commands available in Enable and Configure modes as well as the
commands in User mode.
In addition, you can set up the IA 1100/1200 for TACACS and/or RADIUS authentication
on login and password by a TACACS or RADIUS server. You can find a section describing
configuration of the IA 1100/1200 for TACACS and RADIUS in the Internet Appliance User
Reference Manual.
Note:
If a password is configured for Enable mode, the IA 1100/1200 prompts you for
the password when you enter the enable command. Otherwise, the IA 1100/1200
displays a message advising you to configure an Enable password before entering
Enable mode. From Enable mode, you can access Configure mode to make
configuration changes.
The default password for each access level is blank. (Simply press Enter or Return without
entering a password.) If you want to add password protection to the CLI, use the
following procedure.
1.
Ensure that you are in Enable mode by entering the enable command in the CLI.
2.
Ensure that you are in Configure mode by entering the configure command in the
CLI.
3.
Use the following command for each password you want to set:
system set password login|enable
4.
Enter the show command to examine the changes accumulated in the scratchpad.
5.
Enter the save active command to activate the commands.
6.
Enter the system show active-config command to verify the active changes.
