CHAPTER 50
Password Commands
Use these commands to configure passwords for specific privilege levels on the Switch.
50.1 Password Encryption
Password encryption provides service providers a means to securely enter administrator and
login passwords. By default, passwords are sent in plain text. Plain text passwords are also
stored temporarily in the Switch’s spt and temp buffers. By enabling password encryption, you
can hide these plain text passwords in transit as well as in the device buffers.
