Hi 

I have got switches 9200l. How to use a scrypt 9 password on VTY lines?

Switch(config-line)#password ?
  0      Specifies an UNENCRYPTED password will follow
  7      Specifies a HIDDEN password will follow
  <0-9>  Encryption types not explicitly specified
  LINE   The UNENCRYPTED (cleartext) line password
  LINE   The UNENCRYPTED (cleartext) line password

Switch(config-line)#password 9
Switch(config-line)#password 9 ?
  LINE  The UNENCRYPTED (cleartext) line password

Switch(config-line)#password 9 moudar
Invalid encryption type: 9

There is no choice as "algorithm-type scrypt" here what to do. The switch is complainnig about 7 passwords! but i cant see how to make that password a scrypt 9 password!

Any ideas!

loacl user and enable passwords are password 9. No problem here

The problem is in VTY lines password which is password 7.

Is there any way to make VTY lines a 9 password

 WARNING: Command has been added to the configuration using a type 7 password. However, type 7 passwords will soon be deprecated. Migrate to a supported password type
