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 perma-
nent, you will be prompted to save the settings at that
time.
14) Reset Database
(administrator only function)
These functions are only visible to administrators. 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
(administrator only function)
These functions are only visible to administrators. 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). It also displays all users (minus passwords),
their group assignment (if any) and their rights, as well
as all groups and their rights.
