Specifying LINE Mode Password and Privilege
You can specify a password authentication of all users on different terminal lines.
The user's privilege level is the same as the privilege level assigned to the terminal line, unless a more specific privilege level is
assigned to the user.
To specify a password for the terminal line, use the following commands.
• Configure a custom privilege level for the terminal lines.
LINE mode
privilege level level
– level level: The range is from 0 to 15. Levels 0, 1, and 15 are pre-configured. Levels 2 to 14 are available for custom
configuration.
• Specify either a plain text or encrypted password.
LINE mode
password [encryption-type] password
Configure the following optional and required parameters:
– encryption-type: Enter 0 for plain text or 7 for encrypted text.
– password: Enter a text string up to 32 characters long.
To view the password configured for a terminal, use the show config command in LINE mode.
