service password-recovery
from the switch in case the end user uses the password recovery procedure and sets the system back to
default values. Do not keep a backup copy of the config file on the switch.
If the switch is operating in VTP transparent mode, we recommend that you also save a copy of the
vlan.dat file in a location away from the switch.
When you enter the
service password-recovery
or
no service password-recovery
command
on the
stack master, it is propagated throughout the stack and applied to all switches in the stack.
You can verify if password recovery is enabled or disabled by entering the
show version
privileged
EXEC command.
Examples
This example shows how to disable password recovery on a switch or switch stack so that a user can only
reset a password by agreeing to return to the default configuration.
