Information
Use this command to define a password for a level and use the privilege level
(CONFIGURATION mode)
command to control access to command modes.
Passwords must meet the following criteria:
• Start with a letter, not a number.
• Passwords can have a regular expression as the password. To create a password with
a regular expression in it, you must use CNTL + v prior to entering regular expression.
For example, to create the password abcd]e, you type “abcd CNTL v ]e”. When
the password is created, you do not use the CNTL + v key combination and enter
“
abcd]e”.
NOTE: The question mark (?) and the tilde (~) are not supported characters.
