After you issue this command, the system presents you with the following interactive script:

Example

The following command reruns the interactive script to configure management access:

# run provisioning         
This switch is in a default state. Before entering the Command Line Interface,
please answer these questions about management connectivity and security.
You may quit by answering 'q' to accept the defaults for remaining questions.
Press <ENTER> to accept the default value listed, or shown in upper case.

By default, Auto-Provisioning uses DHCP on all Ethernet ports as this switch
attempts to connect to an Extreme Networks management product.
Instead of using DHCP, do you want to 'disable auto-provision' and
configure a static IP address, default gateway and DNS server now? [y/N/q]: y

You may answer 's' to skip questions about management connectivity
to keep Auto-Provisioning enabled and proceed to the next section.
Which Ethernet port will be used for a management connection?
Enter 'Mgmt' for switch's Mgmt port, or an in-band port number
[MGMT / <port num> / s to skip]: <ENTER> 

Enter the IPv4 or IPv6 address/subnet mask length for this VLAN, e.g.
'192.168.4.5/24' or '192.168.4.5 255.255.255.0', '2001::1/64' or 's' to skip
: 10.99.16.200/16
IP interface for VLAN Mgmt has been created.

If a network management product is not present on this subnet 10.99.16.200/24,
a default route is needed to establish a management connection.
To create a default route, enter the gateway IP address, or enter
'none' if a management product is on this subnet.
[Default is 10.99.16.1 / none / s to skip]: <ENTER> 

Enter a DNS (Domain Name System) name server [Default is 8.8.8.8 / q]
: q 

Management connectivity section completed. Auto-Provisioning has been disabled.

Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) is enabled by default to prevent
broadcast storms
Would you like to disable MSTP? [y/N/q]: 

The switch offers an enhanced security mode. Would you like to read more,
and have the choice to enable this enhanced security mode? [y/N/q]:

Telnet is enabled by default. Telnet is unencrypted and has been the target of 
security exploits in the past.

Would you like to disable Telnet? [y/N/q]: 

SNMP access is disabled by default. SNMPv1/v2c uses no encryption, SNMPv3 can be 
configured to eliminate this problem.

Would you like to enable SNMPv1/v2c? [y/N/q]: 

Would you like to enable SNMPv3? [y/N/q]: 

All ports are enabled by default. In some secure applications, it may be more 
desirable for the ports to be turned off.

Would you like unconfigured ports to be turned off by default? [y/N/q]: 

No failsafe account username and password are in effect.  If you choose to 
configure them, please remember them because they cannot be recovered. 
Would you like to configure the failsafe username and password now? [y/N/q]:
