SVOS> secure-mode enhanced
############################WARNING############################
This will set the switch into enhanced secure mode.  Before
enhanced secure mode is enabled, the switch must securely erase
all customer data and reset the switch to factory defaults.
This will initiate a reboot and render the switch unavailable
until the zeroization is complete.
This should take several minutes to one hour to complete.
