Usage Information
CAUTION: Encrypting passwords with this command does not provide a
high level of security. When the passwords are encrypted, you cannot return
them to plain text unless you re-configure them. To remove an encrypted
password, use the no password password command.
To keep unauthorized people from viewing passwords in the switch configuration
file, use the service password-encryption command. This command
encrypts the clear-text passwords created for user name passwords, authentication
key passwords, the privileged command password, and console and virtual
terminal line access passwords.
To view passwords, use the show running-config command.
show privilege
View your access level.
