Would you like to disable SNMP? [y/N]:
All ports are enabled by default. In some secure applications, it maybe more
desirable for the ports to be turned off.
Would you like unconfigured ports to be turned off by default? [y/N]:
Changing the default failsafe account username and password is highly
recommended. If you choose to do so, please remember the username and
password as this information cannot be recovered by NETGEAR .
Would you like to change the failsafe account username and password

Would you like to permit failsafe account access via the management port?
[y/N]:
Since you have chosen less secure management methods, please remember to
increase the security of your network by taking the following actions:
* change your admin password
* change your failsafe account username and password
* change your SNMP public and private strings
* consider using SNMPv3 to secure network management traffic
You see this interactive script only under the following conditions:
• At initial login (when you use the switch the first time)
• After the command unconfigure switch all
• After the command configure safe-default-script
All the changes you make using this interactive script can be saved through switch reboots, if
you save the setting. If you want to change the management access:
• Use the configure safe-default-script command which maintains your configuration
and reruns the script.
• Use the unconfigure switch all command which resets your switch to the default
factory setting and reruns this script.
