Usage Examples
The following example enables the security login feature and specifies a password for the Telnet session 0:
(config)#line telnet 0
(config-telnet0)#login
(config-telnet0)#password mypassword
To provide extra security, the AOS can encrypt the enable password when displaying the current
configuration. For example, the following is a show configuration printout (password portion) with an
unencrypted enable password (ADTRAN):
!
enable password ADTRAN
!
Alternately, the following is a show configuration printout (password portion) with an enable password of
ADTRAN using md5 encryption:

enable password md5 encrypted 5aa5fbae7d01a90e79fb57705ce74676
