    Currently, supported switches with the following ROM updates do have real
    fixes for password/tftp problems.
    
    For MegaSwitch II:    Model           ROM
                          NH2012          2.54
                          NH2012R         2.54
                          NH2015          2.51
                          NH2048          1.33
    
    With these configurations you can do the following to fix these problems.
    
    set-full-sec enable  (this disables the backdoor passwords)
    
    set-sw-file  XXX     (where XXX is the name you want to call your SNMP
                          software update file)
    
    set-par-file XXX     (where XXX is the name you want to call your
                          parameters file)
    
    set-passwd <return>  (this will display a prompt to enter a new password)
    
    set-comm read XXX    (where XXX is the new read community)
    
    set-comm write XXX   (where XXX is the new write community)
    
    These steps should secure the mentioned MegaSwitch II configurations.
    
    For GigaFrame Switch    NH3012          2.1
    
    set-full-sec enabled
    
    set-sw-file XXX
    
    set-par-file XXX
    
    set-comm read XXX
    
    set-comm write XXX
    
    set-passwd <return>
    
    del-user user       (By default there are two users "super", and "user".
                         "super" has supervisor priveldges, "user" is just a
                         default.  To secure the system, you should delete
                         the "user" account.)
