Enabling and Troubleshooting Type 6 Encryption

BrunoVic — Mon, 27 Jun 2022 12:27:02 GMT

I am trying to enable type 6 security on an ISR 2951 running IOS 15.7(3)M8. I type "key config-key password-encrypt [password]" and "password encryption aes" and my key chain keeps using type 7 and my logins keep using type 5. How do I change both of these to type 6?

I've already read that documentation and implemented those steps. That doesn't
help me because both login and keychains are still type 5 and type 7
respectively.

Negative these configs are for official use only. If there is something
specific you need I can post that.
