Parameters
plain-password: Plain text password to be encrypted, a string of 1 to 64 characters.
mode: Specifies the encryption algorithm and authentication algorithm. The three encryption
algorithms Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), triple data encryption standard (3DES), and Data
Encryption Standard (DES) are in descending order in terms of security. Higher security means more
complex implementation mechanism and lower speed. DES is enough to meet general requirements.
Message-Digest Algorithm 5 (MD5) and Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA-1) are the two authentication
algorithms. MD5 is faster than SHA-1, while SHA-1 provides higher security than MD5.
3desmd5: Converts a plain text encryption password to a cipher text encryption password. In this
case, the authentication protocol must be MD5, and the encryption algorithm must be 3DES.
3dessha: Converts a plain text encryption password to a cipher text encryption password. In this
case, the authentication protocol must be SHA-1, and the encryption algorithm must be 3DES.
md5: Converts a plain text authentication password to a cipher text authentication password. In
this case, the authentication protocol must be MD5. Or, this algorithm can convert the plain text
encryption password to a cipher text encryption password, In this case, the authentication protocol
must be MD5, and the encryption algorithm can be either AES or DES (when the authentication
protocol is specified as MD5, cipher text passwords are the same by using the encryption
algorithms AES and DES).
sha: Converts the plain text authentication password to a cipher text authentication password. In
this case, the authentication protocol must be SHA-1. Or, this algorithm can convert the plain text
encryption password to a cipher text encryption password, In this case, the authentication protocol
must be SHA-1, and the encryption algorithm can be either AES or DES (when the authentication
protocol is specified as SHA-1, cipher text passwords are the same by using the encryption
algorithms AES and DES).
local-engineid: Uses local engine ID to calculate cipher text password. For engine ID-related
configuration, refer to the snmp-agent local-engineid command.
specified-engineid: Uses user-defined engine ID to calculate cipher text password.
engineid: The engine ID string, an even number of hexadecimal characters, in the range 10 to 64. Its
length must not be an odd number, and the all-zero and all-F strings are invalid.
Description
Use the snmp-agent calculate-password command to convert the user-defined plain text password
to a cipher text password.
