displays hardware and software details of the router, with the date and the version number.
It is very usual to set the configuration command by Copy&Paste action: you just have to copy the
configuration from a file on your computer and then you paste it in the router‟s cli.
If the commands line are several, like more than 20, and the connection to the router is made by a
serial port o via a slow connection, it can happen that some of the pasted lines returns. To avoid
this problem, you can use the command set-config which puts the router in a “acquiring
configuration” state and it corrects eventual errors. For example, see below:
root@IMOLA> set-config
Please Copy&Paste your configuration below and then
terminate with a single "." in a new line.
Your configuration will be imported and set as current.
To abort this session and let everything unchanged type "abort".

MANAGING ENCRIPTED PASSWORDS
Introduction
Thanks to this feature you can view the password in encrypted form. The original passwords are
hidden from the user who is not authorized to know, in this way they can be used to set up similar
configurations on different routers.
This new feature is very useful, especially when it is needed to delegate others of the equipment
configuration without let them know the password of specific services.
The password encryption is applied to all system passwords, including password authentication,
secret key and Border Gateway Protocol neighbor password.
Configuration commands
The sequence to have a configuration with encrypted password is:
Apply the desired configuration using unencrypted password, in clear mode
Enable password encryption
Display the configuration
Command syntax
set crypted-passwords (on|off)
It allows you to enable (on) or disable (off) the display of the encrypted password.
When disabled, the password may be displayed in clear or using the notation * according to the
privileges of the user.
N.B.: The password will display in clear only if the same has been previously set in plain mode,
otherwise, you will see ever only encrypted regardless of whether or not the feature-crypted
passwords, if you used the encrypted mode.
