chassis
Identifies the chassis that can encrypt and decrypt encrypted passwords in the configuration file. If two or more chassis
are configured with the same chassis key value, the encrypted passwords can be decrypted by any of the chassis sharing
the same chassis key value. As a corollary to this, a chassis key value will not be able to decrypt the passwords that were
encrypted using a different chassis key value.

Exec
The following prompt is displayed in the Exec mode:
[local]host_name#
Syntax
[ no ] chassis { key value key_string | keycheck key_string }
no
Resets the chassis key to the factory default value. The factory default value is unique to the chassis. Once this
command is executed, the chassis key value command can be used to change the default chassis key.
command is executed, the chassis key value command can be used to change the default chassis key.
key value
key_string
Specifies the chassis key value as an alphanumeric string of 1 through 16 characters.
The chassis key value is stored as a one-way encrypted value, much like a password. It is never displayed in its plain-
text form.
text form.
keycheck
key_string
Generates a one-way encrypted key value based on the entered alphanumeric string of 1 through 16 characters.
The generated encrypted key value is compared against the encrypted key value of the previously entered chassis key
value. If the encrypted values match, then the command succeeds and key check passes. If the comparison fails, a
message is displayed indicating that the key check has failed. Note that if the default chassis key (no chassis key) is
currently being used, this key check will always fail since there will be no chassis key value to compare against.
value. If the encrypted values match, then the command succeeds and key check passes. If the comparison fails, a
message is displayed indicating that the key check has failed. Note that if the default chassis key (no chassis key) is
currently being used, this key check will always fail since there will be no chassis key value to compare against.
Usage
Establish multiple, unique chassis keys to encrypt and decrypt passwords in configuration files.
Example
The following command generates a one-way encrypted key based on the string
tewks367
.
chassis key value tewks367
