Line Configuration
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
password-thresh 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.
