Configuring Username and Password Security Saving Security Credentials in a Config File user-name : the optional text string of the user name associated with the password. : specifies the type of algorithm (if any) used to hash the password. Valid values are plaintext or sha-1 : the clear ASCII text string or SHA-1 hash of the password. You can enter a manager, operator, or 802.1X port-access password in clear ASCII text or hashed format. However, manager and operator passwords are displayed and saved in a configuration file only in hashed format; port-access passwords are displayed and saved only as plain ASCII text. After you enter the complete command syntax, the password is set. You are not prompted to enter the password a second time. This command enhancement allows you to configure manager, operator, and 802.1X port-access passwords in only one step (instead of entering the password command and then being prompted twice to enter the actual password). ■ For more information about configuring local manager and operator passwords, refer to "Configuring Username and Password Security" on page 2-1 in this guide. ■ For more information about configuring a port-access password for 802.1X client authentication, see "802.1X Port-Access Credentials" on page 2-14 in this guide. SNMP Security Credentials SNMPv1 community names and write-access settings, and SNMPv3 usernames continue to be saved in the running configuration file even when you enter the include-credentials command. In addition, the following SNMPv3 security parameters are also saved: snmpv3 user "" [auth ""] [priv ""] where: is the name of an SNMPv3 management station. [auth ] is the (optional) authentication method used for the management station. is the hashed authentication password used with the configured authentication method. 2-13
