Login and Password
A simple way to provide terminal access control in the network is to use passwords and assign
privilege levels. Password protection restricts access to a network or network device. Privilege
levels define what commands users can enter after they have logged into a network device.
Table 4
lists the password commands.
Three password levels can be configured in the device:
•
View mode password.
•
Privileged (Enable) mode password.
•
Loader password.
All passwords are encrypted.
