Describes the storage media sanitization features on Cisco 8000 Series Routers, including factory reset, secure erase, and sanitization of sensitive information in the show running-configuration output.
Refer to this chapter to understand the storage media sanitization features available on Cisco 8000 Series Routers and the procedures used to erase or mask sensitive data on the router.
Storage media sanitization
Describes how the router erases sensitive data, configurations, and keys from a route processor or line cards.
Secure erase of router SSD data
Describes the secure erase data security feature that removes all customer-sensitive data, configurations, and keys from the solid state drive on a line card, route processor, or the entire router in compliance with NIST 800-88 guidelines and then shuts the node down.
Storage media sanitization
Describes how the router erases sensitive data, configurations, and keys from a route processor or line cards.
Exclude Sensitive Information in Show Running Configurations Output
Describes how to mask sensitive information such as strings, usernames, passwords, comments, and IP addresses in the show running-configuration command output by enabling sanitization on the nonvolatile generation (NVGEN) process.
