Default Level
3: Manage level
Parameters
cipher : Specifies to display the local password in encrypted text when you display the current
configuration.
simple : Specifies to display the local password in plain text when you display the current configuration.
password : Password. The password must be in plain text if you specify the simple keyword in the set
authentication password command. If you specify the cipher keyword, the password can be in either
encrypted text or plain text. Whether the password is in encrypted text or plain text depends on the
password string entered. Strings containing up to 16 characters (such as 123) are regarded as plain
text passwords and are converted to the corresponding 24-character encrypted password (such
as !TP<\*EMUHL,408`W7TH!Q!!). A encrypted password must contain 24 characters and must be in
ciphered text (such as !TP<\*EMUHL,408`W7TH!Q!!).
Description
Use the set authentication password command to set the local password.
Use the undo set authentication password command to remove the local password.
Note that only plain text passwords are expected when users are authenticated.
