Restrictions for Controlling Switch Access with Passwords and Privileges
The following are the restrictions for controlling switch access with passwords and privileges:
-
Disabling password recovery will not work if you have set the switch to boot up manually by using the boot manual global configuration command. This command produces the boot loader prompt (switch:) after the switch is power cycled.
-
Password type 0 and type 7 are deprecated. So password type 0 and type 7, used for administrator login to Console, Telnet, SSH, webUI, and NETCONF, must be migrated to password type 8 or type 9.
-
No action is required if username and password are type 0 and type 7 for local authentication such as CHAP, EAP and so on for ISG and Dot1x.
-
Enable password type 0 and type 7 must be migrated to password type 8 or type 9.
-
Password type 5 is deprecated. Password type 5 must be migrated to stronger password type 8 or type 9.
