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.

■There is no need to specify encrypted passwords on the command line. The option 7 is used internally by the switch at system bootup time to enable the switch to read any encrypted passwords stored in the configuration file.

Example

Console(config-line)#password 0 secret
