Quick Start

This section provides the commands you must enter to quickly configure
passwords to protect management access to the ProCurve Secure Router.
Only a minimal explanation is provided.
If you need additional information about any of these options, see "Contents"
on page 2-1 to locate the section and page number that contains the explanation
you need.

Configure the Enable Mode Password

From the global configuration mode context, enter:
Syntax: enable password [md5] <password>
Replace <password> with any combination of up to 30 characters. The
Message Digest 5 (md5) option encrypts the password. If you do not enter this
option, the password is stored in clear text in the running-config.

Configure a Password for the Console Access

By default, you do not have to enter a password to access the ProCurve Secure
Router through a console session. To configure a password to protect console
access, complete these steps:
1. From the global configuration mode context, enter:
ProCurve(config)# line console 0
2. Enter the login command to require a password for console access.
ProCurve(config-con0)# login
3. Create a password:
Syntax: password [md5] <password>
Replace <password> with any combination of up to 30 characters. Use
the md5 option if you want the password encrypted. For example:
ProCurve(config-con0)#password md5 procurve
If you do not enter the md5 option, the password is stored in clear text in
the running-config.
