How do you enable password encryption on NX-OS?

I have set HSRP autentication MD5 key-string using clear text and wondering how do I allow for the NExus 5K to encrypt it across all the interfaces?

Under the HSRP instance enable authentication md5

example:

hsrp 250

authentication md5 key-ch

password xxxx

HTH

I create this config and I want the switch to encrypt "HSRP-password" when I enter it as clear text.

 

hsrp 100
    authentication md5 key-string  0 HSRP-password

 

After configuring it, try this command:

sh hsrp group 100

and post it here

Here you are ,  i removed the IP addresses.
