Supplemental
Information
The
[hidden]
parameter is only used when the command is generated by the running-config. When used, the authentication-key
parameter has already been encrypted and is copied directly in the MIB variable. The user should not use the hidden parameter,
allowing the system to properly encrypt the authentication key before putting into the MIB variable.
To remove the shared-secret, use the no version.
Parameters
<authentication-
key>
MIC authorization string, max 64 characters (64 hex ASCII char codes if hidden).
