Calculating the MD5 digest
Before you begin
Use the md5 command with reserved files (for example, a password file) only if you possess
sufficient permissions to access these files.
About this task
Calculate the MD5 digest to verify the MD5 checksum. The md5 command calculates the MD5
digest for files on the internal flash and either shows the output on screen or stores the output in a
file that you specify. An md5 command option compares the calculated MD5 digest with that in a
checksum file on flash, and the compared output appears on the screen. By verifying the MD5
checksum, you can verify that the file transferred properly to the switch.
Important:
If the MD5 key file parameters change, you must remove the old file and create a new file.
Procedure
1. Log on to the switch to enter User EXEC mode.
2. Calculate the MD5 digest:
md5 WORD<1–99> [-a] [-c] [-f WORD<1–99>] [-r]
Example
Switch:1> enable
Add the data to the output file instead of overwriting it:
Switch:1# md5 password —a —f password.md5
Variable definitions
Use the data in the following table to use the md5 command.
