I hope this is the correct section to ask this question, I am setting up a new 2811 router (moving from a 2611). We have local usernames on the 2611 for authenticating ssh connections and some PPTP sessions. The passwords associated with the usernames are encrypted when viewing them with a sh run or in a config copied to tftp but on the new router the psswds. show as plain text. Is this because I do not yet have the aaa set up as it is on the old router? is there a better way to do this on the new router (locally, not authenticating to a second box)?

Hi,
Give the command,
service password-encryption
on configure terminal.
This should encrypt the password of the account, so that its not visible.

Thanks, I will try that. How come this command does not appear in the config from my old router (2611 on 12.3 10)?
Is this a command that is issued and doesn't appear in the config after?

Thanks, I now see that line in the top of my old config.
