Configuring Username and Password Security
Saving Security Credentials in a Config File
user-name <name>: the optional text string of the user name
associated with the password.
<hash-type>: specifies the type of algorithm (if any) used to
hash the password. Valid values are plaintext or sha-1
<password>: the clear ASCII text string or SHA-1 hash of the
password.
You can enter a manager, operator, or 802.1X port-access password in clear
ASCII text or hashed format. However, manager and operator passwords are
displayed and saved in a configuration file only in hashed format; port-access
passwords are displayed and saved only as plain ASCII text.
After you enter the complete command syntax, the password is set. You are
not prompted to enter the password a second time.
This command enhancement allows you to configure manager, operator, and
802.1X port-access passwords in only one step (instead of entering the
password command and then being prompted twice to enter the actual
password).
For more information about configuring local manager and operator
passwords, refer to “Configuring Username and Password Security” on
page 2-1 in this guide.
For more information about configuring a port-access password for
802.1X client authentication, see “802.1X Port-Access Credentials” on
page 2-14 in this guide.
SNMP Security Credentials
SNMPv1 community names and write-access settings, and SNMPv3
usernames continue to be saved in the running configuration file even when
you enter the include-credentials command.
In addition, the following SNMPv3 security parameters are also saved:
snmpv3 user “<name>" [auth <md5|sha> “<auth-pass>”]
[priv “<priv-pass>"]
where:
<name> is the name of an SNMPv3 management station.
[auth <md5 | sha>] is the (optional) authentication method used for the
management station.
<auth-pass> is the hashed authentication password used with the
configured authentication method.
