guidelines
No encryption is required in general. The encryption type is
required generally when the password that has been
encrypted with the command for the device are to be
copies and pasted.
The effective password is defined as below:
Consists of 1 ~ 26 letter in upeer/lower case and
numerals
Leading spaces are allowed but ignored. Spaces in
between or at the end are regarded as part of the
password.
Caution
If an encryption type is specified and then a
plaintext password is entered, it is
impossible to enter into the privileged
EXEC mode. A lost password that has
been encrypted with any method cannot be
restored. The only way is to reconfigure the
device password.
Examples
The example below configures the password as pw10:
Ruijie(config)# enable password pw10
