Command Usage
• When a connection is started on a line with pass word 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 r eading 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.
