Note
When the device reboot begins, any input at the ASCII terminal or keyboard automatically cancels the
BOOTP process before completion and the device does not receive an IP address from the BOOTP
server.
The following example illustrates the process:
Console>
enable
Console#
delete startup-config
Startup file was deleted
Console#
reload

Security Management and Password Configuration

System security is handled through the AAA mechanism that manages user access rights, privileges, and man-
agement methods. AAA uses both local and remote user databases. Data encryption is handled through the SSH
mechanism.
The system is delivered with no default password configured; all passwords are user-defined. If a user-defined
password is lost, a password recovery procedure can be invoked from the Startup menu. The procedure is appli-
cable for the local terminal only and allows a one-time access to the device from the local terminal with no pass-
word entered.
Configuring Security Passwords Introduction
The security passwords can be configured for the following services:
•
Console
•
Telnet
•
SSH
•
HTTP
•
HTTPS
Passwords are user-defined.
When creating a user name, the default priority is "1," which allows access but not configuration rights. A priority of
"15" must be set to enable access and configuration rights to the device. Although user names can be assigned
privilege level 15 without a password, it is recommended to always assign a password. If there is no specified
password, privileged users can access the Web interface with any password.
