complete information on the safe default mode.
Syntax Description

N/A.
Usage Guidelines
Once you issue this command, the system presents you with the following interactive script:
Telnet is enabled by default. Telnet is unencrypted and has been the target of
security exploits in the past.
Would you like to disable Telnet? [y/N]: No
SNMP access is enabled by default. SNMP uses no encryption, SNMPv3 can be
configured to eliminate this problem.
Would you like to disable SNMP? [y/N]: No
All ports are enabled by default. In some secure applications, it maybe more
desirable for the ports to be turned off.
Would you like unconfigured ports to be turned off by default? [y/N]: No
Since you have chosen less secure management methods, please remember to
increase the security of your network by taking the following actions:
* change your admin password
* change your SNMP public and private strings
* consider using SNMPv3 to secure network management traffic
Example
The following command reruns the interactive script to configure management access:
