Chapter 6: Configuring Switch Access  
„
  77
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.

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.
