Description
Configure a password for performing diagnostics on the router’s System Control Board (SCB), System and Switch Board (SSB), Switching and Forwarding Module (SFM), or Forwarding Engine Board (FEB) port.
For routers that have more than one SSB, the same password is used for both SSBs.
Do not run diagnostics on the SCB, SSB, SFM, or FEB unless you have been instructed to do so by Customer Support personnel.
Default
No password is configured on the diagnostics port.
Options
encrypted-password password—Use MD5 or other encrypted authentication. Specify the
MD5 or other password. You can specify only one encrypted password
for each user.
You
cannot configure a blank password for encrypted-password using blank quotation marks (" "). You must configure a password
whose number of characters range from 1 through 128 characters and
enclose the password in quotation marks.
plain-text-password—Use a plain-text password.
The CLI prompts you for the password and then encrypts it. The CLI
displays the encrypted version, and the software places the encrypted
version in its user database. You can specify only one plain-text
password for each user.
