Command Usage
•
When a connection is started on a line with password protection, the system prompts for the
password. If you enter the correct password, the system shows a prompt. You can use the
command to set the number of times a user can enter an incorrect password
before the system terminates the line connection and returns the terminal to the idle state.
•
The encrypted password is required for compatibility with legacy password settings (i.e., plain
text or encrypted) when reading the configuration file during system bootup or when
downloading the configuration file from a TFTP server. There is no need for you to manually
configure encrypted passwords.
Example
Console(config-line)#password 0 secret
Console(config-line)#
