This is an action object to change switch security mode. There are thtree
security modes for IBM switch: strict mode, compatibility mode and strict mode
with SNMP not comply.

Strict mode will have higher security level. Encryption algorithms in strict
mode will be compliance with the NIST SP 800-131A. Detailed information please
