Password Reset Button Functionality
Fixed Switch Configuration Guide 5-9
Password Reset Button Functionality
When the password reset button functionality is enabled with the set system password-
resetbutton enable command, pressing the password reset button causes the admin account, with
its default values, to be restored on the switch.
•If the admin account has been disabled, it will be re-enabled.
•If the admin account has been deleted, it will be restored on the switch with default values.
When the password reset button functionality is disabled by means of the set system password-
resetbutton disable command, pressing the reset button will have no effect. The password reset
button is enabled by default.
Management Authentication Notification MIB Functionality
Management authentication notification MIB functionality includes enabling/disabling the
sending of SNMP notifications when a user login authentication event occurs for various
authentication notification types.
SNMP must be correctly configured in order to send these notifications. Refer to Chapter 12,
Configuring SNMP, for more information about SNMP.
Use the set mgmt-auth-notify command to enable or disable notifications for the authentication
notification types specified in the Enterasys Management Authentication Notification MIB.
You can specifically enable or disable a single authentication notification type, multiple
authentication notification types or all the authentication notification types. The default setting is
that all Management Authentication Notification types are enabled for authentication
notifications.
When enabled for console, SSH, Telnet, or Webview, the switch will send an SNMP notification for
every successful and failed login attempt.
Use the clear mgmt-auth-notify to return all current settings to the default state of enabled.
