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.
■ 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.
