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.
