Release K.12.06 Enhancements
■ After you permanently save security configurations to the current startup-config file using
the write memory command, you can view and manage security settings with the following
commands:
• show config: Displays the configuration settings in the current startup-config file.
• copy config <source-filename> config <target-filename>: Makes a local copy of an existing
startup-config file by copying the contents of the startup-config file in one memory slot
to a new startup-config file in another, empty memory slot.
• copy config tftp: Uploads a configuration file from the switch to a TFTP server.
• copy tftp config: Downloads a configuration file from a TFTP server to the switch.
• copy config xmodem: Uploads a configuration file from the switch to an Xmodem host.
• copy xmodem config: Downloads a configuration file from an Xmodem host to the switch.
For more information, refer to the “Switch Memory and Configuration” chapter in the Manage-
ment and Configuration Guide.
■ The switch supports the storage of up to three configuration files. Each configuration file
contains its own security credentials and these security configurations may differ. It is the
responsibility of the system administrator to ensure that the appropriate security credentials
are contained in the configuration file that is loaded with each software image.
• When you load a configuration file associated with a software release earlier than K.12.06
on a switch running software release K.12.06 or greater, all security credentials in the
configuration file are supported.
• When you load a configuration file associated with a software release K.12.06 or greater
on a switch running a software release earlier than K.12.06, all security credentials saved
with the include-credentials command are rejected as invalid configurations by the earlier
software.
■ If you have already enabled the storage of security credentials (including local manager and
operator passwords) by entering the include-credentials command, the Reset-on-clear option
is disabled. When you press the Clear button on the front panel, the manager and operator
usernames and passwords are deleted from the running configuration. However, the switch
does not reboot after the local passwords are erased. (The reset-on-clear option normally
reboots the switch when you press the Clear button.)
For more information about the Reset-on-clear option and other front-panel security features,
refer to the “Configuring Username and Password Security” chapter in the Access Security
Guide.
