CYPHER
This set of options allow setting the password for the ``root''
user (the administrator). The password is used to login to
your switch using @t
{
ssh
}
(secure shell). If you choose
@t
{
CONFIG
_
ROOT
_
PWD
_
IS
_
ENCRYPTED
}
, you will be prompted for a
text version of a pre-encrypted password (@t
{
CONFIG
_
ROOT
_
PWD
_
CYPHER
}
).
To encrypt your @i
{
magic
}
string, you must run ``@t
{
mkpasswd
--method=md5
}
@i
{
magic
}
'' on your Linux host (or switch).
If you choose to configure an unencrypted password, then you are
asked to specify it as @t
{
CONFIG
_
ROOT
_
PWD
_
CLEAR
}
. In this latter
case encryption is performed at run-time to use the normal @i
{
ssh
}
authentication, but the clear-text password will remain in dot-config.
By default the root password is an empty string, like in the initial
@i
{
wr-switch-sw
}
releases.
