Usage Examples
To provide extra security, the ADTRAN OS can encrypt the enable password when displaying the current
configuration. For example, the following is a
show configuration
printout (password portion) with an
unencrypted enable password (ADTRAN):
!
enable password ADTRAN
!
Alternately, the following is a
show configuration
printout (password portion) with an enable password of
ADTRAN using md5 encryption:
!
enable password md5 encrypted 5aa5fbae7d01a90e79fb57705ce74676
