Configuring the BOF interactive menu password

Access to the BOF interactive menu can be controlled using a password.

Use the following CLI syntax to configure a BOF interactive menu password in the Classic CLI.

bof
        — password password [hash | hash2 | custom]
        — no password

Use the following CLI syntax to configure a BOF interactive menu password in the MD-CLI.

— bof
    — configuration
        — password (plain-text | hashed-value)

The password can be in one of the following formats:

• a plaintext string between 8 and 32 characters; the plaintext string cannot contain embedded nulls or end with " hash", " hash2", or " custom"

  Caution: When entering the password in plaintext, ensure that the password is not visible to bystanders.

• a hashed string between 1 and 64 characters; the selected hashing scheme can be hash, hash2, or custom

  Note: The hash2 encryption scheme is node-specific and the password cannot be transferred between nodes.
