Parameter
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. When you enter the
password in plain text containing up to 16 characters (such as 123), the system
converts the password to the corresponding 24-character encrypted password (such
as !TP<\*EMUHL,408`W7TH!Q!!). Make sure you are aware of the corresponding plain
password if you enter the password 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.
Note:
By default, modem users and Telnet users need to provide their passwords to log in. If
no password is set, the “Login password has not been set !” message appears on the
terminal when users log in.
Example
# Set the local password of VTY 0 to “123”.
