C-6
To configure items in a submode, activate the submode by entering a command in
the mode above it. For example, to set the network interface speed or duplex you
must first enter enable, configure, then interface network. To return to the higher
Configuration mode, simply enter end or exit or press CTRL+D. The finished
command returns to the Top Level from any mode. Appendix C lists all
commands for SSL devices.
Cisco Secure Content Accelerator devices allow easy, flexible configuration
without compromising the security of your network or their own configuration.
Cisco Secure Content Accelerator devices use two levels of password protection:
access- and enable-level. Access-level passwords control who can access the
device via telnet and serial connections. Enable-level passwords control who can
view the same data available with access-level passwords as well as view sensitive
data and configure the device.
SSL devices are shipped without passwords. Setting passwords is important
because the device can be administered over a network. For more information
about passwords, see the commands password access and password enable in
Appendix C.
FIPS-compliant operation requires both access- and enable-level
passwords. See Chapter 6 for more information.
