Main Security Menu (Cont.)
Command Description
13) Make changes permanent by saving to
flash
When changes are made to the security settings of the
Master, they are initially only changed in RAM and are not
automatically saved permanently into flash. This selection
saved the current security settings into flash. Also, if you
attempt to exit the Main Security Menu and the security
settings have changed but not made permanent, you will
be prompted to save the settings at that time.
14) Reset Database If a user has been given "administrator rights", this
additional menu option is displayed. This selection will
reset the security database to its Default Security
Configuration settings, erasing all users and groups that
were added. This is a permanent change and you will be
asked to verify this before the database is reset.
15) Display Database If a user has been given "administrator rights", this
additional menu option is displayed. This selection will
display the current security settings to the terminal
(excluding user passwords).
