Description Console login re-authentication can provide extra security for your console
connection based on console login authentication.
Suppose you remove the console cable without clearing the existing console
connection. Console login re-authentication ensures that even if the cable is
connected again when the console connection is still present, one must undergo
another authentication to log in from the console port.
Configure the re-authentication command in conjunction with the
flow-control hardware command.
