Password [Md5] <Password - HP ProCurve 7102dl Reference Manual

SROS Command Line Interface Reference Guide
password [md5] <password>
Use the password command to configure the password (with optional encryption) required on the line
session when security login is enabled (using the login command). Use the no form of this command to
remove a configured password.
Syntax Description
md5
<password>
Default Values
By default, there is no login password set for access to the unit.
Usage Examples
The following example enables the security login feature and specifies a password on the CONSOLE port:
ProCurve(config)#line console 0
ProCurve(config-con 0)#login
ProCurve(config-con 0)#password mypassword
To provide extra security, the SROS can encrypt the enable password when displaying the current
configuration. For example, the following is a show configuration printout (password portion) with an
unencrypted enable password (procurve):
!
enable password procurve
!
Alternately, the following is a show configuration printout (password portion) with an enable password of
procurve using md5 encryption:
!
enable password md5 encrypted 5aa5fbae7d01a90e79fb57705ce74676
!
5991-2114
Optional. Specifies Message Digest 5 (md5) as the encryption protocol to use when
displaying the enable password during show commands. If the md5 keyword is not
used, encryption is not used when displaying the enable password during show
commands.
Alphanumeric character string (up to 16 characters) used to specify the password
for the line session.
