Hello!
I'm unfortunately having trouble setting a plain text password for my admin user account on the EX3400 switch. It seems like no one else has had this issue on the forum, at least I was unable to find a similar issue.
This is what I'm getting:
#set system login user admin authentication plain-text-password <---- Here I input the command to set the password
<---- Nothing happens for a while (I've waited up to 10 mins)
^C[abort] <---- I hit ctrl + c to abort
New Password: <---- I'm prompted for a new password and I enter the password.
<---- I'm not prompted to confirm the password and returned to the top of the config.
#show | compare <---- I try and view the changes that I've made to the candidate config but nothing is showing.
Then when I commit and try to login with the password it doesn't work. It works over neither SSH nor console and I have access to both.
Is anyone able to see what I am doing wrong here? I've provided some extra details below. I appreciate anyone's help and will gladly provide more info if needed.
Device: EX3400-48P
Version: 20.2R3.9
