hi,

i want to change the password type of the radius key from type 7 to type 6 on a catalyst 1000 Series Switch.

but if i want to generate a config-key, like it works with IOS-XE, the command is not available.
  (config)#key ?
% Unrecognized command

IOS Version: 15.2(7)E8

is there any other options to change the password with better encryption?

thanks Nils

okay, but by default the password will be encrypted as a type 7 password, not as type 6... 

you can only configure a type 6 password that is encrypted, but how can i generate it? 

switch(config-radius-server)#key ?
0 Specifies an UNENCRYPTED key will follow
6 Specifies ENCRYPTED key will follow
7 Specifies HIDDEN key will follow
LINE The UNCRYPTED (cleartext) shared key
