Enabling or Disabling Password Obscured for CLI

You can enable the device to display passwords in encrypted (obscured) format instead of in plain text for the following CLI areas:

■

Output of the show running-config CLI command.

■

Downloaded CLI Script file.

When passwords are displayed in the obscured mode, the string "obscured" is displayed after the encrypted password, as shown in the following example:

password tIWHhYONjw== obscured

➢

To enable or disable password obscured for CLI:

(config-system)# cli-settings
(cli-settings)# password-obscurity on|off
