User Guidelines
In an Access-Request, encrypted passwords are sent using the RSA Message
Digest algorithm (MD5).
If no encryption parameter (7) is present, the key string is interpreted as an
unencrypted shared secret.
Keys are always displayed in their encrypted form in the running
configuration.
The encryption algorithm is the same across switches. Encrypted passwords
may be copied from one switch and pasted into another switch configuration.
Command History
