Command Usage
• You cannot set a null password. You will have to enter a password to change the command
mode from Normal Exec to Privileged Exec with the
enable command.
• 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.
