Using USB Autorun
Operating Notes and Restrictions
■ Autorun is enabled by default, until passwords are set on the device.
■ Secure-mode and encryption-key are disabled by default.
■ To enable secure mode both an encryption key and trusted certificate
must be set.
■ If secure-mode is enabled, the following conditions apply:
• the encryption-key cannot be removed/un-configured;
• the key-pair cannot be removed.
■ If secure mode is disabled, the key-pair can be removed using the crypto
key zeorize autorun command.
■ When installing the autorun certificate file and/or the other key files, the
files must be in PEM format.
Autorun and Configuring Passwords
When an operator or manager password is configured on a switch, autorun
will be disabled automatically, and a message is displayed on the screen as
shown in the following example:
ProCurve# password manager
New password for manager: *****
Please retype new password for manager: *****
Autorun is disabled as operator/manager is configured.
After passwords are set, autorun can be re-enabled as needed using the autorun
command.
For more information on configuring passwords, refer to the chapter on
“Username and Password Security” in the Access Security Guide for your
switch.
