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 compatiblity 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.
