Abstract
A user (e.g., a network administrator) can enter user verification information once for each switch on which the user desires to perform an administrative activity (e.g., ROM flash, reboot, etc.). Rather than having to enter the user verification information each time a switch is accessed for an administrative activity, the verification information is entered once and stored in non-volatile memory for subsequent use when accessing the switch.
