Protected Mode

Protected Mode settings allow the switch administrator to block the management module from making configuration changes that affect switch operation. The switch retains control over those functions.

The following management module functions are disabled when Protected Mode is turned on:

External Ports: Enabled/Disabled

External management over all ports: Enabled/Disabled

Restore Factory Defaults

New Static IP Configuration

In this release, configuration of the functions listed above are restricted to the local switch when you turn Protected Mode on. In future releases, individual control over each function may be added.

Note – Before you turn Protected Mode on, make sure that external management (Telnet) access to one of the switch’s IP interfaces is enabled: System Settings > Global > Switch IP Interface.

To configure Protected Mode, enable the functions for which you wish to secure local control, and set Local Protected Mode to on.

Figure 6-CSwitch Protected Mode Configuration Window

If you lose access to the switch through the external ports, use the console port to connect directly to the switch, and configure an IP interface with Telnet access.
