ABSTRACT:
A system for supporting management operations associated with an interconnect device includes a port of the interconnect device to maintain authentication data that facilitates authorization of a management operation and a configuration switch coupled to the port to generate a reset signal in response to an operator's command. The port is operable to reset the authentication data upon receiving the reset signal from the configuration switch.
