HP 7000 dl Router manual Password md5 password, Config#line telnet

Line (Telnet) Interface Config Command Set

password [md5] <password>

Use the password command to configure the password (with optional encryption) required on the line session when security login is enabled (using the login command). Use the no form of this command to remove a configured password.

Syntax Description

md5	Optional. Specifies Message Digest 5 (md5) as the encryption protocol to use when
	displaying the enable password during show commands. If the md5 keyword is not
	used, encryption is not used when displaying the enable password during show
	commands
<password>	Alphanumeric character string (up to 16 characters) used to specify the password
	for the line session

Default Values

By default, there is no login password set for access to the unit.

Command Modes

(config-line)#	Line Interface Configuration
	Valid interfaces include: Console (con 0) and Telnet (telnet X)

Usage Examples

The following example enables the security login feature and specifies a password for the Telnet session 0:

(config)#line telnet 0

(config-telnet0)#login(config-telnet0)#password mypassword

To provide extra security, the Secure Router OS can encrypt the enable password when displaying the current configuration. For example, the following is a show configuration printout (password portion) with an unencrypted enable password (procurve):

!

enable password procurve

!

Alternately, the following is a show configuration printout (password portion) with an enable password of procurve using md5 encryption:

!

enable password md5 encrypted 5aa5fbae7d01a90e79fb57705ce74676
