Secret keys
When the switch security is in enhanced secure mode, CLI commands that take a secret key as a parameter have the echo of the secret typing replaced with asterisks, unless the secret is not used for authorizing access to switch access. The input for <key-string> is prompted for interactively:
Enter key-string: ******** Re-enter key-string: ********
Or
Enter authentication-key: ******** Re-enter authentication-key: ********
