Configuring the BOF interactive menu password

The 7210 SAS supports the capability to configure a BOF password to provide specific users with access to the BOF interactive menu. Additionally, the 7210 SAS supports an option to securely store the BOF password using the bof secure-bof-password command.

Use the following CLI syntax to configure a password for the menu.

bof
        bof-password password
        no bof-password
        secure-bof-password {enable | disable}

The password must be a plaintext string, between 8 and 32 characters. The plaintext string cannot contain embedded nulls.

Caution:

When entering the password in plaintext, ensure that the password is not visible to bystanders.
