Configuring OSPF MD5 Authentication - Question

0 tells the router that a plaintext password follow (default)
7 tells the router that a type 7 Cisco password will follow...

So what do I type after informing the router that I will be using
a type 7 password :

i.e. what would be a valid password for type 7 :

>> i.e. what would be a valid password for type 7

All I know is that it would be a valid type 7 password. I'm not sure what constitutes a type 7 password, maybe someone else here does. I think it would be relatively easy to find.

To just get the actual type 7 password you can probably a find a standalone encrypter out there, there are definately many decrypters.

Or you can just do something like this:

Chablis(config)#username bleh password 0 baker
Chablis(config)#do sh run | in bleh
username bleh password 0 baker
Chablis(config)#service password-encryption
Chablis(config)#do sh run | in bleh
username bleh password 7 06040E2A495C

So your type 7 password for 'baker' is '06040E2A495C'. But I think the point you should take from my previous post is that you don't need to know the type 7 password, just configure with plaintext and enable password-encryption.
