Parameters

private-key: Encrypts configuration with a private key. All HPE devices running Comware 7 software use the same private key.

public-key: Encrypts configuration with a public key. All HPE devices running Comware 7 software use the same public key.

Usage guidelines

Configuration encryption enables the device to automatically encrypt a configuration file when saving the running configuration to the file.

Any devices running Comware 7 software can decrypt the encrypted configuration file. To prevent an encrypted file from being decoded by unauthorized users, make sure the file is accessible only to authorized users.
