Note: For the 5400zl, 3800, and 8200zl switches, when the command is executed
in enhanced secure mode the following prompt displays:
Do you want to show sensitive information(y/n)?
If ‘y’ is entered, the normal command output is displayed on the console. If ‘n’ is
entered, all the sensitive information is hidden and will be displayed as asterisks
(‘*****’). The default option is ‘n’ when interactive mode is disabled. For more
information, see the chapter "Secure Mode (5400zl, 3800, and 8200zl)" in the
Access Security Guide for your switch.
