Parameters
cipher: Cipher text password.
simple: Plain text password.
password: A case sensitive string. If the password format is simple, the password argument must be in
plain text, and the configuration file saves the password in plain text. If the format is cipher, password
can be either in cipher text or in plain text, and the configuration file always saves the password in cipher
text. A plain text password can be a string of no more than 16 characters, 1234567 for example. A
cipher text password or the encrypted version of the plain text password comprises 24 characters, such
as _(TT8F]Y\5SQ=^Q`MAF4<1!!.
Description
Use the set authentication password command to set an authentication password.
Use the undo set authentication password command to remove the local authentication password.
By default, no local authentication password is set.
No matter whether the password format is plain text or cipher text, you must type the password in plain
text during authentication.
A plain text password easily gets cracked. Therefore, a cipher text password is recommended.
Related commands: authentication-mode.
