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 compatibility with legacy password
settings (i.e., plain text or encrypted) when reading the configuration file from
an FTP/SFTP server during system bootup. There is no need for you to manually
configure encrypted passwords.
Example
Console(config-line-console)#password 0 secret
Console(config-line-console)#
