Configuring Passwords for Usernames

You can configure an optional password that the extended DHCP application presents to the external AAA authentication service to authenticate the specified username.

To configure a password that authenticates the username:

  1. Specify that you want to configure authentication options.
    • For DHCP local server:
      [edit system services dhcp-local-server]user@host# edit authentication
    • For DHCPv6 local server:
      [edit system services dhcp-local-server dhcpv6]user@host# edit authentication
    • For DHCP relay agent:
      [edit forwarding-options dhcp-relay]user@host# edit authentication
  2. Configure the password. (DHCP local server, DHCPv6 local server, and DHCP relay agent all support the password statement.)
    [edit system services dhcp-local-server authentication]user@host# set password myPassworD1234
