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 an FTP/TFTP server. There is no need for you to

manually configure encrypted passwords.
