Password Encryption encrypts all passwords in the configuration file. However, if you want to show some
passwords as plain text in the configuration file, select them as below:
• Authentication information configured for Authentication in the SECURITY > AAA > AAA Setup screen
(Method 1/2/3 setting in the Privilege Enable and Login fields).
• Authorization information configured for Authorization in the SECURITY > AAA > AAA Setup screen
(Active/Console/Method setting in the Exec and Dot1x fields).
• System account information configured in the Switch (admin, user login name, and password).
• SNMP user account information configured in the SYSTEM > SNMP > SNMP User screen (password for
SNMP user authentication in the Authentication field, and the password for the encryption method for
SNMP communication in the Privacy field).
Note: The passwords will appear as encrypted text when Password Encryption is Active.
