protected configuration. The protected configuration is useful to place the parameters
and values (with the exception of the device IP address) in a known state, either as
a troubleshooting tool or as a baseline configuration. The protected configuration,
once saved in the device, is always present and cannot be overwritten without
entering a user-defined Personal Identification Number (PIN) password. The protected
configuration is restored without a PIN.
NOTE: The default PIN is 0000.
