Password Encryption
All passwords on the system can be viewed by using the write terminal command in
Privileged mode.
You can hide clear-text passwords by storing passwords in an encrypted manner so that anyone
entering write terminal commands will not be able to determine the clear-text password.
The following example shows how to encrypt a user password and display the password on the
terminal line:
# configure terminal
(config)# username guest passwd guest
(config)# end
# write terminal
Building configuration...
Current configuration:
!
! version 0.75
!
hostname localhost
username guest passwd 8 $1$$ysap7EeB9ODCrO46Psdbq/
