Line Commands (Cont.)
Command Function
password
Use this command to
specify the password
for a line.
Use the no form to
remove the password.
Syntax:
password {0 | 7} password
no password
• {0 | 7} - 0 means plain password, 7 means encrypted password
• password - Character string that specifies the line password.
Maximum length: 8 characters plain text, 32 encrypted, case sensitive.
Default Setting: No password is specified.
Command Mode: Line Configuration
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 during system
bootup or when downloading the configuration file from a TFTP server. There is no
need for you to manually configure encrypted passwords.
Example:
Console(config-line)#password 0 secret
Console(config-line)#
timeout login
response
Use this command to
set the interval that the
system waits for a user
