Hi Shanky ,
Type 5 secret password encryption uses MD5 encryption . So original password
will get discarded after encryption . This means u can not cut and paste
enable secret password accross various routers .
This is for the same reason type5 passwords can not be used with PPP
username passwords .
Thanks and Regards
Arun
