Configuring the BOF interactive menu password

The 7210 SAS supports the configuration of a BOF password to provide specific users with access to the BOF interactive menu. To securely store the BOF password, use the bof secure-bof-password command.

Use the following CLI syntax to configure and securely store a password for the BOF interactive 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, and cannot contain embedded nulls.

Caution:

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