Usage
Information
Use this command to define a password for a level and use the privilege level (CONFIGURATION
mode) command to control access to command modes.
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, you must 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”.
