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-threshcommand 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.
