Usage
Information
To control access to command modes, use this command to define a password for a level and use the
privilege level (CONFIGURATION mode) command.
Passwords must meet the following criteria:
● Start with a letter, not a number.
● Passwords can have a regular expression as the password. To create a password with a regular
expression in it, use CNTL + v prior to entering regular expression. For example, to create the
password abcd]e, you type “abcd CNTL v ]e”. When the password is created, you do not use the
CNTL + v key combination and enter “abcd]e”.
NOTE: The question mark (?) and the tilde (~) are not supported characters.
