Release Information

Statement introduced before JUNOS Release 7.4.

Description

Configure a password for performing diagnostics on the router’s System Control Board (SCB), System and Switch Board (SSB), Switching and Forwarding Module (SFM), or Forwarding Engine Board (FEB) port.

For routers that have more than one SSB, the same password is used for both SSBs.

Note: Do not run diagnostics on the SCB, SSB, SFM, or FEB unless you have been instructed to do so by Customer Support personnel.

Default

No password is configured on the diagnostics port.

Options

encrypted-password password—Use MD5 or other encrypted authentication. Specify the MD5 or other password. You can specify only one encrypted password for each user.
You cannot configure a blank password for encrypted-password using blank quotation marks (" "). You must configure a password whose number of characters range from 1 through 128 characters and enclose the password in quotation marks.
plain-text-password—Use a plain-text password. The CLI prompts you for the password and then encrypts it. The CLI displays the encrypted version, and the software places the encrypted version in its user database. You can specify only one plain-text password for each user.

Usage Guidelines

See Configuring the Password on the Diagnostics Port.
