Hi,
Just trying to setup enable password for different priv levels using
encrypted values , observed the following.
1. on SW1 , did enable password level 2 0 test
the switch convers it to secret and the running config shows
enable secret level 2 5 $1$9H9z$IYx/gwpnxk5.MnnP3CVNn0
now .if I want to set the same password on say switch 2 but I am
prohibited from using enable secret command..
I did ..
on SW2,
enable password level 2 $1$jTcA$oHHlPh05wjdzi2sN7vS7t/ as shown below .. but
got the error message .
SW1(config)#enable pass le
SW1(config)#enable pass level 2 7 $1$jTcA$oHHlPh05wjdzi2sN7vS7t/
% Converting to a secret. Please use "enable secret" in the future.
Invalid encrypted password: $1$jTcA$oHHlPh05wjdzi2sN7vS7t/
So, if the requirement is to have the same password on 2 devices and we
have to use ..say an encrypted password on the 2nd device, the only way it
seems is
enable secret level 2 5 $1$jTcA$oHHlPh05wjdzi2sN7vS7t/ ----- on the 2nd
device
so when/where do we use the enable password 7 .... command ?
Can anyone explain ?
TIA
Shanky
