The encryption type is something that should be specified by the router.
YOU should use '0' if you feel the need to type something in there. If
you use '7', you are telling the router that the string you are typing
in is already encrypted with the Cisco-lite encryption. If you use '5',
you ar telling the router that the string you are typing in is already
encrypted as an MD5 hash.
So if you type anything other than '0', you are telling the router that
you are typing in a PRE-encrypted string. This is useful if you are
copying (e.g. cut 'n' paste) configs from another router, but otherwise,
not likely.
