Is the radius key string in the running config for an aironet AP displayed in plain text or a hash? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
It could be displayed either way. If the digit preceding the key is a 7, then the key is hashed. If the digit preceding the key is a 0, then the key is unencrypted.
R1(config)#radius-server key ?
0 Specifies an UNENCRYPTED key will follow
7 Specifies HIDDEN key will follow
For example,
here's an encrypted key:
radius-server key 0 xxx
here's an unencrypted key:
radius-server key 7 xxx
Regards,
Ben

Hi Ben, do you mean...
here's an encrypted key:
radius-server key 7 xxx
here's an unencrypted key:
radius-server key xxx

Hi Jack,
My original post was correct. The moderator of the forum edited my post to remove the bogus passwords. Unfortunately, they also removed the preceding '7' and '0'. It's a safety precaution cisco.com uses to keep inadvertant posting of real passwords.
Anyway, thanks for posting.
