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 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

v ]e”. When the password is created, you do not use the CNTL + v key

combination and enter “

abcd]e”.
