plain-string: Specifies a plaintext password, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 16 characters.

Usage guidelines
The password in the specified mode is inserted into all outbound hello packets and is used for
authenticating inbound hello packets. Only if the authentication succeeds can the neighbor relationship
be formed.
For two routers to become neighbors, the authentication mode and password at both ends must be
identical.
For security purposes, all passwords, including passwords configured in plain text, are saved in cipher
text.
If you configure a password without specifying a level, the password applies to both Level-1 and Level-2.
