Command Usage
• When a connection is started on a line with password protection, the
system prompts for the password. If the correct password is entered, the
system shows a prompt. The
password-thresh
command can be
used 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 (that is, 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 to manually
configure encrypted passwords.
