Hiding sensitive data

NOTE:

Hiding sensitive data is only supported on 2930, 3810, and 5400R switch series.

The hide-sensitive-data command, configurable in standard secure mode, requires interactive entry of passwords and authentication keys for applicable commands, and obscures password/key text as it is entered.

NOTE:

The remainder of this guide is written using syntax for switches operating in standard secure mode without sensitive data hidden, with the understanding that it may be applied to devices already in production for which zeroization and extended downtime may not be acceptable. Keep in mind that for a switch operating in enhanced secure mode, syntax or output for certain commands may be slightly different.
