Configuring the 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 an encryption key for the configuration file.

bof
        encryption-key key
        no encryption-key 

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

Caution:

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