Parameter
simple: Configures to transmit the password in simple text.
md5: Configures to transmit the password encrypted with MD5 algorithm.
password: Configures a password. If simple authentication is used, the password
must be a simple-text password. If MD5 authentication is used, the password can
be a simple-text or a cipher-text password. A simple-text password can be a
character string with no more than 16 characters, for example, 3com918. Note
that the simple-text password defined for MD5 authentication is displayed in
cipher text. A cipher-text password must have 24 characters in cipher text, for
example, (TT8F]Y5SQ=^Q'MAF4<1!!.
ip: If this argument is configured, the system checks the corresponding IP field in
LSP.
osi: If this argument is configured, the system checks the corresponding OSI field
in LSP.
The configuration of ip or osi authentication password is independent of the real
network environment.
