Usage Guidelines
The pass phrase can be any phrase including spaces and punctuation except for the question mark (?),
which has a special meaning to the Cisco IOS parser.
Pass-phrase protection associates a pass phrase with the key. The pass phrase is used to encrypt the key
when it is exported. When this key is imported, you must enter the same pass phrase to decrypt it.
