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
(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.
