Configuring configuration file encryption

The configuration file contents can be encrypted using AES256 and integrity information maintained using SHA256.

Use the following CLI syntax to configure a configuration file encryption key.

bof
        encryption-key key
        no encryption-key 

The configured encryption key must be a plaintext string, between 8 to 32 characters. The plaintext string cannot contain embedded nulls.

Caution:

When entering the encryption key in plaintext, ensure that the key is not visible to bystanders.
