Viewing Tools menu availability using the CLI

Prev Next

Use either of the following commands to view whether users can access the Tools menu.

  • show bootvar
  • show images

If a Tools menu password is set (either the default password or a configured password), users can access the Tools menu. If the Tools menu password is disabled, users cannot access the Tools menu.

Examples

The following example from a Network Security appliance shows that the Tools menu password is set, so users can access the Tools menu.

  Partition 1:
  wmps wMPS (wMPS) 7.4.0 xxx

  Partition 2:
  wmps wMPS (wMPS) 8.0.0 xxx

Last boot partition: 1
Next boot partition: 1

Boot manager admin password:      undisclosed password set
Boot manager tools menu password: undisclosed password set
