service password-encryption

[dae26]

Hi,

I noticed when playing around with my 2610 router that when I use the service password-encryption command that it encrypts the console password I set as it's supposed to. I use the sh run command to view the encryption. However, the sh start command shows the console password clearly not encrypted. I think I am missing something? Why is my console password encrypted for my running config but not the startup config?

Just looking for some help on this topic.

Did you save the config by copying the running config to startup config?

Thanks! I feel retarded for overlooking that. I could have sworn I did that! Thanks again!
