Hello Cisco Community,
We've recently been mandated to enforce Encryption Type 8 (SHA256) for all device passwords. I've successfully created templates to update existing passwords to Type 8. However, I'm struggling to find a way to automatically configure new device passwords with Type 8 encryption during the initial onboarding process of our Cisco C9000 series switches.
I understand that we can pre-configure device credentials for onboarding within Catalyst Center. However, this method doesn't seem to offer an option to specify or enforce Type 8 encryption.
We are currently running Catalyst Center version 2.3.7.7.
Has anyone encountered this issue or found a workaround? Is there a specific configuration setting or workflow within Catalyst Center 2.3.7.7 that allows us to automatically set Type 8 passwords during C9000 onboarding?
Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
