Description Use this command to determine whether the Boot PROM is accessible.
Under non-FIPS compliant operation, you can access the Boot PROM by holding down the ESC key
during the 4-second period when the switch is booting up. In FIPS compliant state, PROM access is
disabled to prevent users from net-installing firmware.
If PROM access is enabled, you can disable it in preparation for FIPS compliance. If PROM access
is disabled, you cannot re-enable it.
Enter the unhide fips command with password “fibranne” to make the command available.
