It is the default encryptiontype when using the password option.• 8 to indicate that a password encrypted using a sha256 hashing algorithm follows.This encryption type is available with the sha256-password option only, and is thedefault encryption type for this option.• 7 to indicate that a password encrypted using a DES hashing algorithm follows. Thisencryption type is available with the password option only.• 5 to indicate that a password encrypted using an MD5 hashing algorithm follows. Thisencryption type is available with the secret option only, and is the default encryptiontype for this option.password Enter a string up to 32 characters long.privilege level Enter the keyword privilege then a number from zero (0) to 15.role role-name Enter the keyword role followed by the role name to associate with that user ID.secret Enter the keyword secret then the encryption type.sha256-password Enter the keyword sha256-password then the encryption-type or the password.Defaults The default encryption type for password option is 0.
