I would try a layer 8 or 9 solution, whichever is the political layer, call
the person who pays the invoices and explain that some of your employees are
fooling around with the equipment and it is costing your company money.  In
as polite a manner as possible of course.  If possible have documentation of
the time spent and associated costs.

most senior staff will pay attention to things when presented from a "this
is negatively affecting your p&l" point of view

hope this is helpful,
daveh

Subject: RE: Preventing password recovery


I've had a couple of suggestions to fix this, but nothing that works so far.

The best choice would be to lock it up somewhere, but it is on 
customer-owned premise, so other then telling them they shouldn't be messing

with it, we don't have a fool proof way of keeping them out of it.

A couple of answers I've tried that haven't worked -

   1) Change the config register to 0x2002  -  Disabling the break key is on

by default.  This allows someone to use the break key to enter rommon mode 
during normal operations (oops, luckily I have a test router to play with)

    2) Change the config register to 0x102 - I didn't notice any diference 
in this at all with this setting.

    3) Use the command "no service password-recovery"  - Which seems to want

to work, but I get a response from the router saying "Password recovery 
disable mode is not supported by the current ROMMON.
Please upgrade the ROMMON if you want to use this feature."  Which is kind 
of funny since it has 12.0.3(T) in the ROM.  I'm not sure there is anything 
else you can change the 1700's to.  It may be this command used to work, but

doesn't on some of the newer models.


  It may be that you just cant get there from here :)
